Frequently asked questions
How often is recycling collected in Padstow?
Canterbury-Bankstown City collects recycling fortnightly. Collection days vary by street, and an address search shows which fortnight you are in right now.
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 Padstow can send a whole truck to landfill, and Canterbury-Bankstown City can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.
Can I recycle pizza boxes?
A clean, dry pizza box is fine in the yellow bin. If the base is soaked with grease, tear off and recycle the clean lid and put the greasy half in general waste. This rule is the same across every NSW council, Canterbury-Bankstown City included.

Quick tips for bin night
- Summer bins need managing. A Padstow red bin in January is a different beast. Bag food scraps tight, keep the bin in shade if you can, and get it out every single week even when it is barely half full.
- Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Padstow bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
- 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.
