Did you know?
Lithium batteries cause hundreds of fires in waste trucks and facilities every year.
A button battery or vape tossed in a kerbside bin can ignite under pressure. Batteries belong at a dedicated drop-off, never in any of your three bins.
Frequently asked questions
Can broken glass go in the recycling bin?
No. Unbroken bottles and jars belong in the yellow bin, but broken glass is a hazard for sorting staff. Wrap it in newspaper, seal it in a bag and put it in the general waste bin.
Can I get a larger or extra bin?
Blacktown City 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 Riverstone, 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 Blacktown 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.

Quick tips for bin night
- The lid has to close. An overflowing bin with the lid propped open often gets skipped, or spills down the street. If it will not shut, it will not go.
- Face the opening to the street. The lifter arm on Blacktown City'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.
- Know your fortnight. Riverstone alternates its fortnightly bins, and guessing wrong is the classic move. The neighbours' kerb on bin morning is the traditional answer; an address search is the reliable one.
