Frequently asked questions
Why does my neighbour in Yowie Bay 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 Yowie Bay vary by street, so check your exact address. Confirm with your own address rather than copying the neighbours.
What goes in the green bin?
Grass clippings, leaves, small branches and prunings. If Sutherland Shire Council 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.
How do I get rid of furniture or a mattress in Yowie Bay?
Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Sutherland Shire Council runs a hard waste service, either booked on demand or on scheduled dates depending on the area; the booking form and accepted items list are on the council website. Charities collect saleable furniture free.

Quick tips for bin night
- The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Yowie Bay households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
- Face the opening to the street. The lifter arm on Sutherland Shire Council'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.
- Know your fortnight. Yowie Bay alternates its fortnightly bins, and guessing wrong is the classic move. The neighbours' kerb on bin morning is the traditional answer; an address search is the reliable one.
