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.
Yes, and it is the safer habit. Golden Plains Shire asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Rokewood can run early. The evening before beats the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.
General waste catches up next week, but Golden Plains Shire collects recycling and garden organics fortnightly, so a missed night there can mean a two week wait. If a bin is overflowing as a result, Golden Plains Shire may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.
The usual reasons: the lid was not fully closed, the bin was out after the truck passed, contamination was spotted in the recycling, or the truck arm could not reach past a parked car. Golden Plains Shire has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.
