Recycling rule worth knowing

Empty and dry liquid containers before they go in.

Leftover liquid soaks into paper and cardboard in the same bin, ruining it for recycling and making the load heavier and harder to process.

Example: Tip out the last of the milk or juice and give the bottle a quick drain before it goes in the yellow bin.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if I miss bin night in Weston?

General waste catches up next week, but Cessnock City 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, Cessnock City may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.

Do I get money back for drink containers?

Yes. Return and Earn refunds 10 cents per eligible drink container in NSW, at depots, return machines and bag drop points. Containers you redeem are extra money in your pocket; eligible containers you skip still go in the recycling bin.

What goes in the yellow recycling bin?

Paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, steel and aluminium cans, and rigid plastic containers like bottles, tubs and trays. Soft plastics, food waste and contaminated packaging do not belong in it anywhere in NSW.

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.
  • Face the opening to the street. The lifter arm on Cessnock 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.
  • Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Weston the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
