What goes where: nappies and wipes

Correct bin: General Waste (red lid).

Disposable nappies and baby wipes are general waste, even the ones labelled biodegradable, which do not break down in a standard kerbside system.

Avoid: Don't flush wipes, even flushable ones. They contribute to blockages in the sewer network.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if I miss bin night in St Ives?

General waste catches up next week, but Ku-ring-gai 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, Ku-ring-gai may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.

Why does my neighbour in St Ives 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 St Ives vary by street, so check your exact address. Confirm with your own address rather than copying the neighbours.

What do I do with old electronics?

Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Australia, and Ku-ring-gai lists its e-waste drop off options online, usually the local transfer station plus periodic collection events. Officeworks takes computers, phones and cables in most areas.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push Ku-ring-gai collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
  • The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most St Ives households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
  • Empty it before you bin it. A half full bottle leaks through the paper and cardboard sharing its bin. Drain liquids first and the whole load stays cleaner.
