Recycling rule worth knowing

Never bag your recycling. Put items directly in the bin..

Plastic bags prevent automated sorting lines from processing the contents. The bag and everything inside it typically ends up in landfill regardless of what's inside.

Example: Tins, bottles, cardboard: loose in the yellow bin, not in a bag.

Frequently asked questions

Can I put the bin out the night before?

Yes, and it is the safer habit. Port Macquarie-Hastings asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Laurieton can run early. Putting bins out on the evening before the Wednesday run avoids the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.

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 Laurieton?

Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Port Macquarie-Hastings 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

  • Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night, and in most of Laurieton that night is Wednesday. These are two different things and both matter.
  • Rain is not an excuse. The bin does not care if it is raining on Wednesday night. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
  • Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Laurieton bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
