Your Yellow Lidded Bin
Wingecarribee Shire Council offers three sizes of yellow lidded bins to help residents better manage their recycling:

These bins are collected fortnightly.

Recycling Hints and Tips
- Please flatten plastic and cardboard containers to make more space in your recycling bin
- Please wipe out or rinse recyclable containers in old washing up water before placing them in the recycling bin
An ongoing recycling bin inspection program will take place to ensure only recyclable items are placed in the correct bin.
The new collection vehicles are fitted with cameras to check the bin contents every time it is emptied. Residents who continually place incorrect items in the recycling bin may have their bin removed.
