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
Why was my bin in Morisset not collected?
The usual reasons: the lid was not fully closed, the bin was out after the truck passed, contamination was spotted in the recycling, or the truck arm could not reach past a parked car. Lake Macquarie City Council has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.
Does Morisset have a garden organics bin?
Lake Macquarie City Council does not include a standard garden organics bin in Morisset's kerbside lineup. Green waste is handled through drop off, booked collections or an opt in bin depending on the council; their website has the current options.
How do I get rid of furniture or a mattress in Morisset?
Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Lake Macquarie City Council runs a hard waste service, either booked on demand or on scheduled dates depending on the area; the booking form and accepted items list are on the council website. Charities collect saleable furniture free.

Quick tips for bin night
- Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Morisset means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One calendar reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
- Check your bin before bin night. Bin night is not the time to discover the bin is still full from last fortnight. A quick check the day before saves a very long fortnight.
- 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.
