A delayed week often means a fuller bin
When collections are pushed back over a holiday period, the gap between pickups grows. General waste and organics can build up faster than usual, especially across the festive season when households produce more of both.
Tip: Squash and flatten where you can, and avoid overfilling. A lid that will not close can mean the truck skips your bin.
Frequently asked questions
How do I get rid of furniture or a mattress in Kembla Grange?
Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Wollongong City runs a hard waste service, either booked on demand or on scheduled dates depending on the area; the booking form and accepted items list are on the council website. Charities collect saleable furniture free.
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 Kembla Grange can send a whole truck to landfill, and Wollongong City can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.
Can I put the bin out the night before?
Yes, and it is the safer habit. Wollongong City asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Kembla Grange can run early. The evening before beats the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.

Quick tips for bin night
- Face the opening to the street. The lifter arm on Wollongong City's trucks grabs from the road side. Lid opening toward the street, half a metre of clear space each side, and the bin gets emptied instead of skipped.
- Know your fortnight. Kembla Grange 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.
- Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Kembla Grange means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One calendar reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
