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 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.
What goes in the green bin?
Grass clippings, leaves, small branches and prunings. If Fairfield City runs a FOGO service, food scraps can join them in an approved compostable liner; if the lid says garden organics only, keep food out. When unsure, check the lid sticker or the council website.
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.

Quick tips for bin night
- Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Green Valley means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One calendar reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
- Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Green Valley 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.
