Recycling rule worth knowing

Remove caps and lids from plastic bottles before recycling.

Caps are often a different type of plastic that causes contamination if mixed with the bottle material. Metal screw-top lids on glass jars are the exception and those can stay on.

Example: Milk bottles, shampoo bottles, soft drink bottles: pop the cap off first.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get a larger or extra bin?

City of Albany 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 Yakamia, check what size is standard first, since upgrade policies differ between councils.

What goes in the green bin?

Grass clippings, leaves, small branches and prunings. If City of Albany runs a FOGO service, food scraps can join them in an approved compostable liner; if the lid says garden organics only, keep food out. When unsure, check the lid sticker or the council website.

Can I put the bin out the night before?

Yes, and it is the safer habit. City of Albany asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Yakamia can run early. The evening before beats the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
  • Loose, not bagged. Tip recycling in loose. A tied bag cannot be opened on the sorting line, so the whole lot gets treated as rubbish. The bag defeats the entire point.
  • The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Yakamia households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
