Recycling rule worth knowing

Return soft plastics to a collection point rather than the kerb.

Bags, wrappers and films tangle in machinery and cannot be processed in kerbside recycling. Dedicated drop-off programs handle them separately when they are running.

Example: Bread bags, pasta packets and bubble wrap: collect them at home and take them to a participating retailer.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get a larger or extra bin?

Shoalhaven City 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 Ulladulla, check what size is standard first, since upgrade policies differ between councils.

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 Shoalhaven City runs use an automated arm, and bins in Ulladulla blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.

Are the bins different if I rent in Ulladulla?

No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever Shoalhaven City supplies to the address. If bins are missing or broken at a new rental, report it to the council or your property manager; replacement is usually free and does not need the owner.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Summer bins need managing. A Ulladulla red bin in January is a different beast. Bag food scraps tight, keep the bin in shade if you can, and get it out every single week even when it is barely half full.
  • Face the opening to the street. The lifter arm on Shoalhaven City's trucks grabs from the road side. Lid opening toward the street, half a metre of clear space each side, and the bin gets emptied instead of skipped.
  • Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Ulladulla bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
