Recycling rule worth knowing
Empty and dry liquid containers before they go in.
Leftover liquid soaks into paper and cardboard in the same bin, ruining it for recycling and making the load heavier and harder to process.
Example: Tip out the last of the milk or juice and give the bottle a quick drain before it goes in the yellow bin.
Frequently asked questions
Can I put the bin out the night before?
Yes, and it is the safer habit. City of Sydney asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Haymarket can run early. The evening before beats the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.
Why does my neighbour in Haymarket have a different bin day?
Collection routes are planned street by street, so two nearby addresses can sit on different runs, and near a boundary they can even sit in different councils. Collection days in Haymarket vary by street, so check your exact address. Confirm with your own address rather than copying the neighbours.
What do I do with old electronics?
Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Australia, and City of Sydney 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.

Quick tips for bin night
- Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
- Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Haymarket means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One calendar reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
- 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.
