Recycling rule worth knowing
Keep lids closed on your recycling bin on collection day.
An overflowing recycling bin with the lid open can have its contents spilled by wind or rejected by the collection truck's automated arm.
Example: If your bin is full, break down any large cardboard boxes to make room rather than stacking items on top.
Frequently asked questions
Where exactly should the bin go on the kerb?
On the footpath or nature strip close to the kerb, lid opening facing the street, with about half a metre clear on each side. The trucks Penrith City Council runs use an automated arm, and bins in South Penrith blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.
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.
Can I recycle pizza boxes?
A clean, dry pizza box is fine in the yellow bin. If the base is soaked with grease, tear off and recycle the clean lid and put the greasy half in general waste. This rule is the same across every NSW council, Penrith City Council included.

Quick tips for bin night
- The lid has to close. An overflowing bin with the lid propped open often gets skipped, or spills down the street. If it will not shut, it will not go.
- Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and Penrith City Council's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
- Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Penrith City Council tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
