Did you know?

Food waste accounts for roughly one third of what Australians put in their general waste bins.

Even without a food scraps program, composting at home makes a measurable difference to how much goes to landfill.

Frequently asked questions

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

Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. The Hills 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.

What counts as recycling contamination?

Anything in the yellow bin that does not belong: food soiled packaging, soft plastics, clothing, electrical items. It matters because a contaminated load from Norwest can send a whole truck to landfill, and The Hills Shire can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.

What is FOGO and does it apply here?

FOGO means Food Organics and Garden Organics: food scraps composted along with garden waste in the green bin. Whether The Hills Shire's green bin accepts food depends on its current rollout; the lid sticker is the quickest check, and the council website confirms it.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and The Hills Shire tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
  • 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.
  • Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Norwest bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
