Frequently asked questions
Can I put the bin out the night before?
Yes, and it is the safer habit. Sutherland Shire Council asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Woolooware can run early. The evening before beats the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.
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.
Why does my neighbour in Woolooware have a different bin day?
Collection routes are planned street by street, so two nearby addresses can sit on different runs, and near a boundary they can even sit in different councils. Collection days in Woolooware vary by street, so check your exact address. Confirm with your own address rather than copying the neighbours.

Quick tips for bin night
- Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Sutherland Shire Council tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
- Caps off, lids on. Small plastic caps come off the bottle and go in the red bin. Metal lids on glass jars can stay put. It is a small rule that trips up a lot of people.
- The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Woolooware households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
