Recycling rule worth knowing
Remove caps and lids from plastic bottles before recycling.
Caps are often a different type of plastic that causes contamination if mixed with the bottle material. Metal screw-top lids on glass jars are the exception and those can stay on.
Example: Milk bottles, shampoo bottles, soft drink bottles: pop the cap off first.
Frequently asked questions
What happens if I miss bin night in Royal Park?
General waste catches up next week, but City of Charles Sturt 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, City of Charles Sturt may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.
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 Charles Sturt's green bin accepts food depends on its current rollout; the lid sticker is the quickest check, and the council website confirms it.
Why does my neighbour in Royal Park have a different bin day?
Collection routes are planned street by street, so two nearby addresses can sit on different runs, and near a boundary they can even sit in different councils. Collection days in Royal Park vary by street, so check your exact address. Confirm with your own address rather than copying the neighbours.

Quick tips for bin night
- Summer bins need managing. A Royal Park red bin in January is a different beast. Bag food scraps tight, keep the bin in shade if you can, and get it out every single week even when it is barely half full.
- Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push City of Charles Sturt collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
- Know your fortnight. Royal Park 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.
