Quick tips for bin night
- Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push Canterbury-Bankstown City collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
- Rain is not an excuse. The bin does not care if it is raining. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
- 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.
