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 get a larger or extra bin?

Wollondilly Shire offers larger or additional bins for eligible households, such as big families or medical needs, usually for a fee. Contact the council's waste team; if you are new to Picton, check what size is standard first, since upgrade policies differ between councils.

What do I do with old electronics?

Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Australia, and Wollondilly Shire 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.

Can I put the bin out the night before?

Yes, and it is the safer habit. Wollondilly Shire asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Picton can run early. Putting bins out on Sunday evening before the Monday run avoids the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night, and in most of Picton that night is Monday. These are two different things and both matter.
  • Empty it before you bin it. A half full bottle leaks through the paper and cardboard sharing its bin. Drain liquids first and the whole load stays cleaner.
  • Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Picton bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
