Frequently asked questions
Are the bins different if I rent in Hurstville?
No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever Georges River Council supplies to the address. If bins are missing or broken at a new rental, report it to the council or your property manager; replacement is usually free and does not need the owner.
How often is recycling collected in Hurstville?
Georges River Council collects recycling fortnightly, alternating with the garden organics bin. Collection days vary by street, and an address search shows which fortnight you are in right now.
What goes in the green bin?
Grass clippings, leaves, small branches and prunings. If Georges River Council runs a FOGO service, food scraps can join them in an approved compostable liner; if the lid says garden organics only, keep food out. When unsure, check the lid sticker or the council website.

Quick tips for bin night
- Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Hurstville bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
- Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push Georges River Council collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
- Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Hurstville the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
