Local bins and recycling news
AI-generated summary, reviewed before publication. Checked 18 September 2026.
Waverley Council kept early bin collections during hot weather in August 2026, asking residents to leave bins out overnight or by 6am. It said the temporary early starts helped protect crews doing physically demanding work in high temperatures, while Biffa worked to keep services running. Earlier, its March recycling announcement added empty juice, plant-milk and soup cartons, non-black plant pots and squeezy metal and plastic tubes to household collections from 31 March. The council said expanding accepted materials would reduce waste and make recycling rules clearer for residents. Carton lids should be recycled separately.
