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

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 Ku-ring-gai's green bin accepts food depends on its current rollout; the lid sticker is the quickest check, and the council website confirms it.

Can I get a larger or extra bin?

Ku-ring-gai offers larger or additional bins for eligible households, such as big families or medical needs, usually for a fee. Contact the council's waste team; if you are new to Killara, check what size is standard first, since upgrade policies differ between councils.

Where exactly should the bin go on the kerb?

On the footpath or nature strip close to the kerb, lid opening facing the street, with about half a metre clear on each side. The trucks Ku-ring-gai runs use an automated arm, and bins in Killara blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Killara bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
  • Loose, not bagged. Tip recycling in loose. A tied bag cannot be opened on the sorting line, so the whole lot gets treated as rubbish. The bag defeats the entire point.
  • Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
