What goes where: nappies and wipes
Correct bin: General Waste (red lid).
Disposable nappies and baby wipes are general waste, even the ones labelled biodegradable, which do not break down in a standard kerbside system.
Avoid: Don't flush wipes, even flushable ones. They contribute to blockages in the sewer network.
Frequently asked questions
How do I get rid of furniture or a mattress in Pyrmont?
Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. City of Sydney runs a hard waste service, either booked on demand or on scheduled dates depending on the area; the booking form and accepted items list are on the council website. Charities collect saleable furniture free.
Where exactly should the bin go on the kerb?
On the footpath or nature strip close to the kerb, lid opening facing the street, with about half a metre clear on each side. The trucks City of Sydney runs use an automated arm, and bins in Pyrmont blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.
Are the bins different if I rent in Pyrmont?
No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever City of Sydney supplies to the address. If bins are missing or broken at a new rental, report it to the council or your property manager; replacement is usually free and does not need the owner.

Quick tips for bin night
- Caps off, lids on. Small plastic caps come off the bottle and go in the red bin. Metal lids on glass jars can stay put. It is a small rule that trips up a lot of people.
- Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Pyrmont bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
- 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.
