Recycling rule worth knowing

Return soft plastics to a collection point rather than the kerb.

Bags, wrappers and films tangle in machinery and cannot be processed in kerbside recycling. Dedicated drop-off programs handle them separately when they are running.

Example: Bread bags, pasta packets and bubble wrap: collect them at home and take them to a participating retailer.

Frequently asked questions

Can I put the bin out the night before?

Yes, and it is the safer habit. Lane Cove asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Lane Cove West can run early. The evening before beats the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.

How often is recycling collected in Lane Cove West?

Lane Cove 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 happens to bins on public holidays?

It depends on the holiday and the council. When Lane Cove shifts collections, everything from the holiday onward that week usually moves one day later. An address search during a holiday week shows any adjusted dates the council has published.

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 Lane Cove West bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
  • Face the opening to the street. The lifter arm on Lane Cove'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.
  • Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
