What goes where: takeaway coffee cups
Correct bin: General Waste (red lid).
The waterproof plastic lining means a standard takeaway cup cannot be recycled kerbside. The lid is sometimes recyclable if it is rigid plastic, but the cup itself is not.
Avoid: Don't assume a paper-looking cup is recyclable. A reusable cup avoids the problem entirely.
Frequently asked questions
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 City of Canada Bay's green bin accepts food depends on its current rollout; the lid sticker is the quickest check, and the council website confirms it.
Can I get a larger or extra bin?
City of Canada Bay 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 Rhodes, check what size is standard first, since upgrade policies differ between councils.
Can I put the bin out the night before?
Yes, and it is the safer habit. City of Canada Bay asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Rhodes can run early. The evening before beats the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.

Quick tips for bin night
- Rain is not an excuse. The bin does not care if it is raining. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
- Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Rhodes the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
- Face the opening to the street. The lifter arm on City of Canada Bay's trucks grabs from the road side. Lid opening toward the street, half a metre of clear space each side, and the bin gets emptied instead of skipped.
