Frequently asked questions

Why was my bin in Ryde not collected?

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. Ryde City has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.

What counts as recycling contamination?

Anything in the yellow bin that does not belong: food soiled packaging, soft plastics, clothing, electrical items. It matters because a contaminated load from Ryde can send a whole truck to landfill, and Ryde City can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.

What goes in the yellow recycling bin?

Paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, steel and aluminium cans, and rigid plastic containers like bottles, tubs and trays. Soft plastics, food waste and contaminated packaging do not belong in it anywhere in NSW.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Summer bins need managing. A Ryde 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.
  • Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and Ryde City's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
  • Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Ryde bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
