Christmas and New Year cause the longest delays

The period between Christmas and New Year is the most disruptive for collections. Many councils run reduced schedules over the summer break, with some pickups delayed by several days. The official council website is the most reliable source during this stretch.

Tip: Set a reminder for the week before Christmas to check your council's holiday schedule. The window for putting out general waste before the break fills up fast.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get a larger or extra bin?

Central Coast Council offers larger or additional bins for eligible households, such as big families or medical needs, usually for a fee. Contact the council's waste team; if you are new to Erina, check what size is standard first, since upgrade policies differ between councils.

What counts as recycling contamination?

Anything in the yellow bin that does not belong: food soiled packaging, soft plastics, clothing, electrical items. It matters because a contaminated load from Erina can send a whole truck to landfill, and Central Coast Council can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.

Can broken glass go in the recycling bin?

No. Unbroken bottles and jars belong in the yellow bin, but broken glass is a hazard for sorting staff. Wrap it in newspaper, seal it in a bag and put it in the general waste bin.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Empty it before you bin it. A half full bottle leaks through the paper and cardboard sharing its bin. Drain liquids first and the whole load stays cleaner.
  • 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.
  • Caps off, lids on. Small plastic caps come off the bottle and go in the red bin. Metal lids on glass jars can stay put. It is a small rule that trips up a lot of people.
