Recycling rule worth knowing

Never bag your recycling. Put items directly in the bin..

Plastic bags prevent automated sorting lines from processing the contents. The bag and everything inside it typically ends up in landfill regardless of what's inside.

Example: Tins, bottles, cardboard: loose in the yellow bin, not in a bag.

Frequently asked questions

What do I do with old electronics?

Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Australia, and Ryde City lists its e-waste drop off options online, usually the local transfer station plus periodic collection events. Officeworks takes computers, phones and cables in most areas.

Can I recycle pizza boxes?

A clean, dry pizza box is fine in the yellow bin. If the base is soaked with grease, tear off and recycle the clean lid and put the greasy half in general waste. This rule is the same across every NSW council, Ryde City included.

What happens to bins on public holidays?

It depends on the holiday and the council. When Ryde City shifts collections, everything from the holiday onward that week usually moves one day later. An address search during a holiday week shows any adjusted dates the council has published.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Ryde City tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
  • Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and Ryde City's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
  • Summer bins need managing. A Eastwood red bin in January is a different beast. Bag food scraps tight, keep the bin in shade if you can, and get it out every single week even when it is barely half full.
