Frequently asked questions
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 St Marys can send a whole truck to landfill, and Penrith City Council can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.
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 Penrith City Council's green bin accepts food depends on its current rollout; the lid sticker is the quickest check, and the council website confirms it.
Can I get a larger or extra bin?
Penrith City Council offers larger or additional bins for eligible households, such as big families or medical needs, usually for a fee. Contact the council's waste team; if you are new to St Marys, check what size is standard first, since upgrade policies differ between councils.

Quick tips for bin night
- 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.
- Caps off, lids on. Small plastic caps come off the bottle and go in the red bin. Metal lids on glass jars can stay put. It is a small rule that trips up a lot of people.
- Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
