What goes where: takeaway coffee cups
Correct bin: General Waste (red lid).
The waterproof plastic lining means a standard takeaway cup cannot be recycled kerbside. The lid is sometimes recyclable if it is rigid plastic, but the cup itself is not.
Avoid: Don't assume a paper-looking cup is recyclable. A reusable cup avoids the problem entirely.
Frequently asked questions
What do I do with old electronics?
Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Australia, and Blacktown 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.
Are the bins different if I rent in Marayong?
No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever Blacktown City supplies to the address. If bins are missing or broken at a new rental, report it to the council or your property manager; replacement is usually free and does not need the owner.
Can broken glass go in the recycling bin?
No. Unbroken bottles and jars belong in the yellow bin, but broken glass is a hazard for sorting staff. Wrap it in newspaper, seal it in a bag and put it in the general waste bin.

Quick tips for bin night
- Empty it before you bin it. A half full bottle leaks through the paper and cardboard sharing its bin. Drain liquids first and the whole load stays cleaner.
- Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Marayong bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
- Face the opening to the street. The lifter arm on Blacktown 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.
