Frequently asked questions

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 Kurri Kurri can send a whole truck to landfill, and Cessnock City can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.

Can broken glass go in the recycling bin?

No. Unbroken bottles and jars belong in the yellow bin, but broken glass is a hazard for sorting staff. Wrap it in newspaper, seal it in a bag and put it in the general waste bin.

Why does my neighbour in Kurri Kurri 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 Kurri Kurri vary by street, so check your exact address. Confirm with your own address rather than copying the neighbours.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Empty it before you bin it. A half full bottle leaks through the paper and cardboard sharing its bin. Drain liquids first and the whole load stays cleaner.
  • Know your fortnight. Kurri Kurri 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 Kurri Kurri means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One calendar reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
