Frequently asked questions
How do I get rid of furniture or a mattress in Glebe?
Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. City of Sydney runs a hard waste service, either booked on demand or on scheduled dates depending on the area; the booking form and accepted items list are on the council website. Charities collect saleable furniture free.
What happens if I miss bin night in Glebe?
General waste catches up next week, but City of Sydney 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 Sydney may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.
Can I get a larger or extra bin?
City of Sydney 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 Glebe, check what size is standard first, since upgrade policies differ between councils.

Quick tips for bin night
- Loose, not bagged. Tip recycling in loose. A tied bag cannot be opened on the sorting line, so the whole lot gets treated as rubbish. The bag defeats the entire point.
- The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Glebe households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
- Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and City of Sydney's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
