Frequently asked questions
How do I get rid of furniture or a mattress in Strathfield?
Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Strathfield Municipal 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.
Should I rinse containers before recycling?
A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Strathfield's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections.
Can broken glass go in the recycling bin?
No. Unbroken bottles and jars belong in the yellow bin, but broken glass is a hazard for sorting staff. Wrap it in newspaper, seal it in a bag and put it in the general waste bin.

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.
- Check your bin before bin night. Bin night is not the time to discover the bin is still full from last fortnight. A quick check the day before saves a very long fortnight.
- The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Strathfield households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
