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
Why does my neighbour in Liverpool 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 Liverpool vary by street, so check your exact address. Confirm with your own address rather than copying the neighbours.
What happens if I miss bin night in Liverpool?
General waste catches up next week, but Liverpool City collects recycling and garden organics fortnightly, so a missed night there can mean a two week wait. If a bin is overflowing as a result, Liverpool City may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.
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.

Quick tips for bin night
- Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Liverpool City tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
- Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Liverpool means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One calendar reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
- Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Liverpool the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
