Did you know?
Bagged recycling is one of the most common reasons a load is rejected.
Sorting machines and staff cannot open every bag, so anything tied up inside is treated as contamination. Tipping recyclables in loose solves the problem entirely.
Frequently asked questions
How often is recycling collected in Mount Kuring-gai?
Hornsby Shire 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.
What do I do with old electronics?
Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Australia, and Hornsby Shire lists its e-waste drop off options online, usually the local transfer station plus periodic collection events. Officeworks takes computers, phones and cables in most areas.
Do I get money back for drink containers?
Yes. Return and Earn refunds 10 cents per eligible drink container in NSW, at depots, return machines and bag drop points. Containers you redeem are extra money in your pocket; eligible containers you skip still go in the recycling bin.

Quick tips for bin night
- Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Mount Kuring-gai bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
- Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push Hornsby Shire collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
- Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Mount Kuring-gai the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
