Recycling rule worth knowing

Never bag your recycling. Put items directly in the bin..

Plastic bags prevent automated sorting lines from processing the contents. The bag and everything inside it typically ends up in landfill regardless of what's inside.

Example: Tins, bottles, cardboard: loose in the yellow bin, not in a bag.

Frequently asked questions

Can I recycle pizza boxes?

A clean, dry pizza box is fine in the yellow bin. If the base is soaked with grease, tear off and recycle the clean lid and put the greasy half in general waste. This rule is the same across every NSW council, Kiama Municipal included.

Where exactly should the bin go on the kerb?

On the footpath or nature strip close to the kerb, lid opening facing the street, with about half a metre clear on each side. The trucks Kiama Municipal runs use an automated arm, and bins in Minnamurra blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.

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

  • Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
  • 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.
  • Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Kiama Municipal tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
