Recycling rule worth knowing
Keep lids closed on your recycling bin on collection day.

Example: If your bin is full, break down any large cardboard boxes to make room rather than stacking items on top.
Frequently asked questions
What happens if I miss bin night in Mortdale?
General waste catches up next week, but Georges River Council collects recycling and garden organics fortnightly, so a missed night there can mean a two week wait. If a bin is overflowing as a result, Georges River Council may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.
Can I get a larger or extra bin?
Georges River Council offers larger or additional bins for eligible households, such as big families or medical needs, usually for a fee. Contact the council's waste team; if you are new to Mortdale, check what size is standard first, since upgrade policies differ between councils.
Should I rinse containers before recycling?
A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Mortdale's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections.

Quick tips for bin night
- Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Georges River Council tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
- Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and Georges River Council's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
- Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Mortdale bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
