Frequently asked questions
What happens if I miss bin night in Oatley?

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 Oatley households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
- Face the opening to the street. The lifter arm on Georges River Council's trucks grabs from the road side. Lid opening toward the street, half a metre of clear space each side, and the bin gets emptied instead of skipped.
- Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Oatley bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
