Recycling rule worth knowing
Return soft plastics to a collection point rather than the kerb.
Bags, wrappers and films tangle in machinery and cannot be processed in kerbside recycling. Dedicated drop-off programs handle them separately when they are running.
Example: Bread bags, pasta packets and bubble wrap: collect them at home and take them to a participating retailer.
Frequently asked questions
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 Sutherland Shire Council's green bin accepts food depends on its current rollout; the lid sticker is the quickest check, and the council website confirms it.
What happens if I miss bin night in Gymea Bay?
General waste catches up next week, but Sutherland Shire Council 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, Sutherland Shire Council may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.
What happens to bins on public holidays?
It depends on the holiday and the council. When Sutherland Shire Council shifts collections, everything from the holiday onward that week usually moves one day later. An address search during a holiday week shows any adjusted dates the council has published.

Quick tips for bin night
- The lid has to close. An overflowing bin with the lid propped open often gets skipped, or spills down the street. If it will not shut, it will not go.
- Check your bin before bin night. Bin night is not the time to discover the bin is still full from last fortnight. A quick check the day before saves a very long fortnight.
- Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Sutherland Shire Council tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
