Did you know?
Around 130 kilograms of food waste is thrown out per person in Australia each year.
Most of it could be diverted through a FOGO service or home composting. Food in landfill breaks down without oxygen and releases methane, a potent greenhouse gas.
Frequently asked questions
What do I do with old electronics?
Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Australia, and Inner West Council lists its e-waste drop off options online, usually the local transfer station plus periodic collection events. Officeworks takes computers, phones and cables in most areas.
What happens to bins on public holidays?
It depends on the holiday and the council. When Inner West 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.
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, Inner West Council included.

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.
- Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push Inner West Council collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
- Know your fortnight. Haberfield alternates its fortnightly bins, and guessing wrong is the classic move. The neighbours' kerb on bin morning is the traditional answer; an address search is the reliable one.
