Recycling rule worth knowing
Empty and dry liquid containers before they go in.
Leftover liquid soaks into paper and cardboard in the same bin, ruining it for recycling and making the load heavier and harder to process.
Example: Tip out the last of the milk or juice and give the bottle a quick drain before it goes in the yellow bin.
Frequently asked questions
How often is recycling collected in Miranda?
Sutherland Shire Council collects recycling fortnightly, alternating with the garden organics bin. Collection days vary by street, and an address search shows which fortnight you are in right now.
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.
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 Sutherland Shire Council runs use an automated arm, and bins in Miranda blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.

Quick tips for bin night
- 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.
- Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and Sutherland Shire Council's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
- Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Miranda the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
