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

Can I put the bin out the night before?

Yes, and it is the safer habit. Strathfield Municipal asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in North Strathfield can run early. The evening before beats the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.

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 North Strathfield?

Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Strathfield Municipal 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

  • The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most North Strathfield households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
  • Caps off, lids on. Small plastic caps come off the bottle and go in the red bin. Metal lids on glass jars can stay put. It is a small rule that trips up a lot of people.
  • Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in North Strathfield the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
