Frequently asked questions
How often is recycling collected in Lilyfield?
Inner West Council 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 Inner West Council 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.
Can I put the bin out the night before?
Yes, and it is the safer habit. Inner West Council asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Lilyfield can run early. The evening before beats the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.

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 Lilyfield bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
- 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.
- Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Lilyfield bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
