Frequently asked questions
What happens if I miss bin night in Drummoyne?
General waste catches up next week, but City of Canada Bay collects recycling and garden organics fortnightly, so a missed night there can mean a two week wait. If a bin is overflowing as a result, City of Canada Bay may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.
Do I get money back for drink containers?
Yes. Return and Earn refunds 10 cents per eligible drink container in NSW, at depots, return machines and bag drop points. Containers you redeem are extra money in your pocket; eligible containers you skip still go in the recycling bin.
Why was my bin in Drummoyne not collected?
The usual reasons: the lid was not fully closed, the bin was out after the truck passed, contamination was spotted in the recycling, or the truck arm could not reach past a parked car. City of Canada Bay has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.

Quick tips for bin night
- Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Drummoyne the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
- Rain is not an excuse. The bin does not care if it is raining. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
- The lid has to close. An overflowing bin with the lid propped open often gets skipped, or spills down the street. If it will not shut, it will not go.
