Marrickville is collected by Inner West Council. Check your next collection date and which bins go out.
Which council collects Marrickville?
Marrickville is collected by Inner West Council, NSW.
That is the council that decides your collection day, supplies your bins and publishes the
schedule — so it is the council name to look for on any official bin information.
One thing worth knowing before you rely on that: council boundaries do not follow suburb names
tidily. Some suburbs are split down the middle by a boundary, and a street on the edge
of Marrickville can be collected by a neighbouring council entirely. The checker above works from
your address rather than the suburb name, so it is the thing to trust if you are anywhere near
an edge, or if what you read here does not match what your neighbours put out.

Why your street may differ from the rest of Marrickville
Knowing the council is only half of it. Inner West Council divides its area into collection zones so
the trucks can work through it across the week, and those zone lines do not follow suburb
boundaries. A single suburb the size of Marrickville is often split across two or more collection
days, which is why a neighbour a few streets away can be a reliable-sounding but wrong source.
The other half is which week you are in.
General waste here is fortnightly , while recycling is fortnightly , and food and garden organics (fogo) is weekly.
Anything on a fortnightly cycle means counting weeks, and public holidays shift the count.
The checker above returns the actual next date for each bin, so there is nothing to count.
