Frequently asked questions
What happens to bins on public holidays?
It depends on the holiday and the council. When City of Parramatta shifts collections, everything from the holiday onward that week usually moves one day later. An address search during a holiday week shows any adjusted dates the council has published.
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, City of Parramatta included.
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 City of Parramatta runs use an automated arm, and bins in Telopea blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.

Quick tips for bin night
- Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Telopea bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
- Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push City of Parramatta 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 Telopea households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
