Recycling rule worth knowing
Empty and dry liquid containers before they go in.
Leftover liquid soaks into paper and cardboard in the same bin, ruining it for recycling and making the load heavier and harder to process.
Example: Tip out the last of the milk or juice and give the bottle a quick drain before it goes in the yellow bin.
Frequently asked questions
Why was my bin in North Bondi 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. Waverley Council has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.
What goes in the green bin?
Grass clippings, leaves, small branches and prunings. If Waverley Council runs a FOGO service, food scraps can join them in an approved compostable liner; if the lid says garden organics only, keep food out. When unsure, check the lid sticker or the council website.
Can I put the bin out the night before?
Yes, and it is the safer habit. Waverley Council asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in North Bondi can run early. The evening before beats the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.

Quick tips for bin night
- Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any North Bondi 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 Waverley Council collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
- The lid has to close. An overflowing bin with the lid propped open often gets skipped, or spills down the street. If it will not shut, it will not go.
