Christmas and New Year cause the longest delays

The period between Christmas and New Year is the most disruptive for collections. Many councils run reduced schedules over the summer break, with some pickups delayed by several days. The official council website is the most reliable source during this stretch.

Tip: Set a reminder for the week before Christmas to check your council's holiday schedule. The window for putting out general waste before the break fills up fast.

Frequently asked questions

Why was my bin not collected?

Common reasons include: the bin lid wasn't fully closed, the bin wasn't at the kerb before the truck passed, there was contamination in the recycling bin, or the bin was blocking the truck's mechanical arm. Your council's website usually has a missed collection form.

What goes in the yellow recycling bin?

The yellow-lid bin accepts paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, steel and aluminium cans, and rigid plastic containers (bottles, tubs, trays). Soft plastics, food waste, and contaminated packaging don't belong in it.

What counts as contamination?

Contamination means putting the wrong items in the recycling bin: food-soiled packaging, soft plastics, clothing, electrical items, or anything not specifically accepted kerbside. High contamination can cause an entire truck load to be sent to landfill.

Quick tips for bin night

  • The lid has to close. An overflowing bin with the lid propped open often gets skipped, or spills down the street. If it won't shut, it won't go.
  • Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin. There is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
  • Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid won't close. Lids need to close for collection. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
