Recycling rule worth knowing
Remove caps and lids from plastic bottles before recycling.

Example: Milk bottles, shampoo bottles, soft drink bottles: pop the cap off first.
Frequently asked questions
What happens to bins on public holidays?

What happens if I miss bin night in Westmead?
General waste catches up next week, but City of Parramatta 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 Parramatta may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.

Quick tips for bin night
- Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Westmead bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
- Rain is not an excuse. The bin does not care if it is raining. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
- 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.
