Food waste collection
on the Lower North Shore.

We collect food waste every week across the Lower North Shore, from Kirribilli and North Sydney to Crows Nest, St Leonards, Chatswood, Mosman and Lane Cove. Each 120L bin costs $45 to $54 a week by weight, ex GST, plus a fuel levy.

Lower North Shore

Where we collect
on the Lower North Shore.

We collect across four council areas: North Sydney (North Sydney, Milsons Point, Kirribilli, McMahons Point, Neutral Bay, Cremorne, Crows Nest), Willoughby (Chatswood, Artarmon), Mosman, and Lane Cove (Lane Cove and St Leonards, which is shared with North Sydney). That includes the office and dining precincts around Miller Street, Willoughby Road in Crows Nest, Military Road, and the Chatswood interchange.

How collection works here

Set up once.
Runs every week.

  1. We deliver the kit

    Caddy, liners, signage and the 120L bin, set up in the kitchen.

  2. Collected weekly

    We collect the bin on the same day every week.

  3. We set your tier

    For the first few weeks we watch the real weights, then set the tier that fits.

Your collection day

Your bin is collected once a week on a fixed day, set when you sign up. We confirm the day when you enquire.

Office towers and shared waste contracts

North Sydney, St Leonards and Chatswood are office and transport hubs, and many kitchens sit in towers or shopping centres where one waste contract covers every tenant. The NSW EPA is clear on how the food waste rules work there: if the property owner or facilities manager holds the waste contract, they are responsible for working with tenants, supplying enough food waste bins where the contract makes them responsible for bins, and making sure food waste is collected at least weekly.

So if you are a tenant, ask your centre or building manager what the plan is. If you are a building manager, we can talk to you about bins for several tenants at once. The thresholds are based on general waste bin capacity each week: 3,960L from 1 July 2026, 1,980L from 1 July 2028 and 720L from 1 July 2030.

Councils and household services here

According to the NSW EPA's council list, Lane Cove Municipal Council already provides a food and garden organics (FOGO) service to households, while North Sydney, Willoughby and Mosman currently provide garden organics only. That means fewer of your staff may have a food bin at home, so clear signage and a short briefing on day one make more difference here. Our starter kit includes kitchen signage for that reason. For the business rules, your council checks compliance for most sites; see our guide to the NSW food waste rules.

What it costs

The price is the same as everywhere we collect: $45 a 120L bin a week for up to 20kg a lift, $49 for up to 35kg and $54 for up to 50kg, ex GST, plus a 9.93% fuel levy shown as its own line. For the first few weeks we watch the real weights, then set the tier that fits. See how the weight tiers work.

Which day would my collection be?
Your bin is collected once a week on a fixed day. We confirm the day when you enquire.
Do you collect in Chatswood?
