Macarthur is collected by Campbelltown City Council. Check your next collection date and which bins go out.
Which council collects Macarthur?
Macarthur is in Campbelltown City 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 Macarthur, or you are checking on behalf of a
rental, Campbelltown City Council is who you are dealing with. Our full
Campbelltown City Council bin day guide has the detail
, and Campbelltown City Council’s own website is the source of record

Why your street may differ from the rest of Macarthur
Knowing the council is only half of it. Campbelltown City 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 Macarthur 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.
