A delayed week often means a fuller bin
When collections are pushed back over a holiday period, the gap between pickups grows. General waste and organics can build up faster than usual, especially across the festive season when households produce more of both.
Tip: Squash and flatten where you can, and avoid overfilling. A lid that will not close can mean the truck skips your bin.
Frequently asked questions
Do I get money back for drink containers?
Yes. Return and Earn refunds 10 cents per eligible drink container in NSW, at depots, return machines and bag drop points. Containers you redeem are extra money in your pocket; eligible containers you skip still go in the recycling bin.
What happens if I miss bin night in Sans Souci?
General waste catches up next week, but Bayside Council 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, Bayside Council may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.
Why was my bin in Sans Souci 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. Bayside Council has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.

Quick tips for bin night
- Face the opening to the street. The lifter arm on Bayside Council'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.
- Rain is not an excuse. The bin does not care if it is raining. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
