Frequently asked questions
What do I do with old electronics?
Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Australia, and Cumberland City lists its e-waste drop off options online, usually the local transfer station plus periodic collection events. Officeworks takes computers, phones and cables in most areas.
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 Cumberland City's green bin accepts food depends on its current rollout; the lid sticker is the quickest check, and the council website confirms it.
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 Pendle Hill can send a whole truck to landfill, and Cumberland City can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.

Quick tips for bin night
- Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
- Loose, not bagged. Tip recycling in loose. A tied bag cannot be opened on the sorting line, so the whole lot gets treated as rubbish. The bag defeats the entire point.
- Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Cumberland City tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
