Frequently asked questions

Should I rinse containers before recycling?

A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Mollymook's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections.

What is FOGO and does it apply here?

FOGO means Food Organics and Garden Organics: food scraps composted along with garden waste in the green bin. Whether Shoalhaven City's green bin accepts food depends on its current rollout; the lid sticker is the quickest check, and the council website confirms it.

Are the bins different if I rent in Mollymook?

No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever Shoalhaven 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.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Rain is not an excuse. The bin does not care if it is raining. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
  • Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Shoalhaven City tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
  • Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Mollymook means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One calendar reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
