Frequently asked questions

What counts as recycling contamination?

Anything in the yellow bin that does not belong: food soiled packaging, soft plastics, clothing, electrical items. It matters because a contaminated load from Albert Park can send a whole truck to landfill, and Port Phillip City can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.

What is FOGO and does it apply here?

FOGO means Food Organics and Garden Organics: food scraps composted along with garden waste in the green bin. Whether Port Phillip City's green bin accepts food depends on its current rollout; the lid sticker is the quickest check, and the council website confirms it.

Can I get a larger or extra bin?

Port Phillip City offers larger or additional bins for eligible households, such as big families or medical needs, usually for a fee. Contact the council's waste team; if you are new to Albert Park, check what size is standard first, since upgrade policies differ between councils.

Quick tips for bin night

  • The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Albert Park households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
  • Rain is not an excuse. The bin does not care if it is raining. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
  • The lid has to close. An overflowing bin with the lid propped open often gets skipped, or spills down the street. If it will not shut, it will not go.
