Recycling rule worth knowing

Remove caps and lids from plastic bottles before recycling.

Example: Milk bottles, shampoo bottles, soft drink bottles: pop the cap off first.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if I miss bin night in Macquarie Fields?

General waste catches up next week, but Campbelltown 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, Campbelltown City may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.

What do I do with old electronics?

Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Australia, and Campbelltown City 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 does my neighbour in Macquarie Fields 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 Macquarie Fields vary by street, so check your exact address. Confirm with your own address rather than copying the neighbours.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
  • Face the opening to the street. The lifter arm on Campbelltown City'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.
  • The lid has to close. An overflowing bin with the lid propped open often gets skipped, or spills down the street. If it will not shut, it will not go.
