Even without a food scraps program, composting at home makes a measurable difference to how much goes to landfill.
Frequently asked questions
Should I rinse containers before recycling?
A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Abbotsford's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections.
How often is recycling collected in Abbotsford?
City of Canada Bay collects recycling fortnightly, alternating with the garden organics bin. Collection days vary by street, and an address search shows which fortnight you are in right now.
What do I do with old electronics?
Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Australia, and City of Canada Bay lists its e-waste drop off options online, usually the local transfer station plus periodic collection events. Officeworks takes computers, phones and cables in most areas.

Quick tips for bin night
- Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
- Empty it before you bin it. A half full bottle leaks through the paper and cardboard sharing its bin. Drain liquids first and the whole load stays cleaner.
- Summer bins need managing. A Abbotsford red bin in January is a different beast. Bag food scraps tight, keep the bin in shade if you can, and get it out every single week even when it is barely half full.
