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
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, Blacktown City included.
Are the bins different if I rent in Glenwood?
No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever Blacktown City supplies to the address. If bins are missing or broken at a new rental, report it to the council or your property manager; replacement is usually free and does not need the owner.
How do I get rid of furniture or a mattress in Glenwood?
Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Blacktown City 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.

Quick tips for bin night
- Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night, and in most of Glenwood that night is Friday. These are two different things and both matter.
- Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Glenwood means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One recurring Friday evening reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
- Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Glenwood bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
