If you live in a house or an apartment in our area you need to put your bins out on the correct day. Search this map to find the bin collection day.   Collections for both rubbish (red lid) and recycling bins (yellow lid) occur weekly or sometimes several times a week for larger and high-rise apartment buildings. We'll collect your garden organics (green lid) bin every second week on the same day as your red lid and yellow lid bin.   Bins are emptied any time from 6am to 6pm on the collection day. Bins will be collected on all public holidays including Christmas and New Year’s Day.   For more information on bin collection, visit the City of Sydney website.
