Frequently asked questions

Should I rinse containers before recycling?

A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Griffith's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections.

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, Griffith City included.

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 Griffith can send a whole truck to landfill, and Griffith City can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Summer bins need managing. A Griffith red bin in January is a different beast. Bag food scraps tight, keep the bin in shade if you can, and get it out every single week even when it is barely half full.
  • 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.
  • The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Griffith households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
