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 Longueville can run early. The evening before beats the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.

What do I do with old electronics?

Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Australia, and Lane Cove lists its e-waste drop off options online, usually the local transfer station plus periodic collection events. Officeworks takes computers, phones and cables in most areas.

Why was my bin in Longueville not collected?

The usual reasons: the lid was not fully closed, the bin was out after the truck passed, contamination was spotted in the recycling, or the truck arm could not reach past a parked car. Lane Cove has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Know your fortnight. Longueville 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.
  • 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.
  • Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Lane Cove tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
