Recycling rule worth knowing
Remove caps and lids from plastic bottles before recycling.
Caps are often a different type of plastic that causes contamination if mixed with the bottle material. Metal screw-top lids on glass jars are the exception and those can stay on.
Example: Milk bottles, shampoo bottles, soft drink bottles: pop the cap off first.
Frequently asked questions
Can I get a larger or extra bin?
City of Stirling 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 Stirling, check what size is standard first, since upgrade policies differ between councils.
What happens if I miss bin night in Stirling?
General waste catches up next week, but City of Stirling 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, City of Stirling may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.
How do I get rid of furniture or a mattress in Stirling?
Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. City of Stirling runs a hard waste service, either booked on demand or on scheduled dates depending on the area; the booking form and accepted items list are on the council website. Charities collect saleable furniture free.

Quick tips for bin night
- Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and City of Stirling 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.
- Know your fortnight. Stirling alternates its fortnightly bins, and guessing wrong is the classic move. The neighbours' kerb on bin morning is the traditional answer; an address search is the reliable one.
