The Booked Clean-Up service handles bulky items that do not fit in the red or green bins; residents can arrange a clean-up twice a year online. Bundled garden cuttings, furniture and whitegoods are accepted.
Your kerbside bins#
- Red lid, general waste
Red-lid bin for general household rubbish, a yellow-lid recycling bin collected fortnightly, and a green-lid garden cuttings bin collected fortnightly.
- Yellow lid, recycling
Rinsed bottles, jars, cans, paper and cardboard, placed loose. Check the council page for glass and soft plastics rules in your area.
- Green lid, organics
The green-lidded bin is collected fortnightly for garden cuttings, which are taken to a composting facility and turned into compost and mulch.
The lid colours follow Australian Standard AS 4123 nationally, but the accepted-item list is set by City of Canterbury Bankstown. See what bin does it go in for the item-by-item answers, and the purple glass bin rollout for where a fourth lid is arriving.
Getting a collection in City of Canterbury Bankstown#
City of Canterbury Bankstown takes the booking, sets the date and decides what it will lift, so have your address and an item list ready before you start. Most councils cap the volume per booking, and the rule above is the one that applies here.
How booked and scheduled collections differ across the country is covered in hard rubbish collection in Australia.
When your bin goes out#
Collection day is set by your street address, not by the council area, so this guide does not carry per-street dates and will not guess one. The service pattern for City of Canterbury Bankstown is below; City of Canterbury Bankstown publishes the day itself.
