Frequently asked questions

Are the bins different if I rent in Mullumbimby?

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

What goes in the yellow recycling bin?

Paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, steel and aluminium cans, and rigid plastic containers like bottles, tubs and trays. Soft plastics, food waste and contaminated packaging do not belong in it anywhere in NSW.

How do I get rid of furniture or a mattress in Mullumbimby?

Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Byron Shire 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

  • Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
  • Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Mullumbimby means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One calendar reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
  • Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Byron Shire tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
