Did you know?

Recycling one tonne of paper saves around 13 trees and thousands of litres of water.

Paper can be recycled five to seven times before the fibres become too short. Keeping it clean and dry in the yellow bin is what makes that possible.

Frequently asked questions

What goes in the green bin?

Grass clippings, leaves, small branches and prunings. If Tweed Shire 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.

Do I get money back for drink containers?

Yes. Return and Earn refunds 10 cents per eligible drink container in NSW, at depots, return machines and bag drop points. Containers you redeem are extra money in your pocket; eligible containers you skip still go in the recycling bin.

How do I get rid of furniture or a mattress in Kingscliff?

Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Tweed Shire 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.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Tweed Shire tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
  • Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and Tweed Shire's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
  • Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Kingscliff bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
