Waste collection & recycling
service
See information about Liquid
Trade Waste
A three-bin garbage collection
service now operates in Wyong Shire.
Until this year, residents had two rubbish bins – a
yellow one for both recycling and household waste and
a green one for garden waste.
However, under the current system, households also
have a red bin. This is how the new system works:
-
the yellow bin is for recycling only and is
collected fortnightly
- the green bin is still for garden vegetation only
and is collected fortnightly
- the
red bin is for general household waste and is collected
weekly on your usual garbage collection
day.
The divider in the yellow recycling bin is set to
be removed.
See
additional information or telephone 1300 126 278
What to place in your red garbage
bin
- Food scraps
- Plastic bags
- Polystyrene foam
- Disposable nappies
- Ceramics and cookware
- Light globes and pyrex

Fortnightly
garden vegetation collection
Residential
properties
east of the F3 Freeway have
a garden vegetation bin (the one with
the aqua lid). Your garden vegetation bin will be emptied
every fortnight on your normal garbage day.
The vegetation
will be composted, so it is most important that only
acceptable materials be placed inside:
| Garden
Vegetation, DO put in |
Garden
Vegetation, DO NOT put in |
Grass
clippings and garden prunings
Leaves and weeds
Tree loppings and small branches
Timber (unpainted, untreated, no nails)
Flowers |
Plastic
Bags (don't bag it just bin it)
Food Scraps
Painted or stained timber
Chemically treated timber
Tree slumps
Other household waste |
Remember: Bins will
not be collected if they have been overfilled or the
lids have been left open. When two bins are put out,
leave them on the kerb one metre apart.
Put your Garden Vegetation bin out once a fortnight
on your normal garbage collection day. If you are unsure
of your collection day, telephone 1300 126 278
Bulk kerbside
collection
Garbage which is too bulky, too heavy or too big
to be collected in the weekly or fortnightly collections
will also be collected. Each household is entitled to six on-call kerbside
collections of bulk household waste, or bulk garden
vegetation (placing bulk household waste and bulk garden
vegetation out at the same time counts as two services.
