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

How do I get rid of furniture or a mattress in Riverview?

Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Lane Cove 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.

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 Lane Cove's green bin accepts food depends on its current rollout; the lid sticker is the quickest check, and the council website confirms it.

What happens to bins on public holidays?

It depends on the holiday and the council. When Lane Cove shifts collections, everything from the holiday onward that week usually moves one day later. An address search during a holiday week shows any adjusted dates the council has published.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Face the opening to the street. The lifter arm on Lane Cove'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.
  • Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
  • Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and Lane Cove's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
