What goes where: takeaway coffee cups
Correct bin: General Waste (red lid).
The waterproof plastic lining means a standard takeaway cup cannot be recycled kerbside. The lid is sometimes recyclable if it is rigid plastic, but the cup itself is not.
Avoid: Don't assume a paper-looking cup is recyclable. A reusable cup avoids the problem entirely.
Frequently asked questions
What happens if I miss bin night in Greystanes?
General waste catches up next week, but Cumberland City 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, Cumberland City may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.
What is FOGO and does it apply here?
FOGO means Food Organics and Garden Organics: food scraps composted along with garden waste in the green bin. Whether Cumberland City's green bin accepts food depends on its current rollout; the lid sticker is the quickest check, and the council website confirms it.
Can I get a larger or extra bin?
Cumberland City 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 Greystanes, check what size is standard first, since upgrade policies differ between councils.

Quick tips for bin night
- Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Greystanes means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One calendar reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
- Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Cumberland 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 Cumberland City's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
