Collection

will collect recycling bins on alternate weeks - one week we will
collect your Blue-lidded recycling bin and following week we will
collect your Yellow-lidded recycling bin. For those living in apartment
blocks, both types of recycling bins are collected each week.
Collection
takes place on the same day as your garbage removal, and Council
has developed a
Calendar to show Recycling Bin Collection Weeks.

Composting and Worm Farming
On average, 40% of garbage sent to
land fill is food waste.
You can make a difference by composting
your food scraps or by using a worm farm.
Lane Cove
residents can purchase compost bins and worms directly from Council
and can also participate in one of our regular composting
and worm farming
workshops.
