Cherrybrook is collected by Hornsby Shire Council. Check your next collection date and which bins go out.
Which council collects Cherrybrook?
Cherrybrook is in Hornsby Shire 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.
This trips people up more than it should. Council boundaries rarely match the suburb names
people actually use, and a suburb can sit on the edge of one council while the shops you drive
to are in the next one. If you have just moved to Cherrybrook, or you are checking on behalf of a
rental, Hornsby Shire Council is who you are dealing with. Our full
Hornsby Shire Council bin day guide has the detail

Why your street may differ from the rest of Cherrybrook
Knowing the council is only half of it. Hornsby Shire 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 Cherrybrook 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 weekly , while recycling is fortnightly , and garden organics is fortnightly.
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.
