Recycling rule worth knowing

Never bag your recycling. Put items directly in the bin..

Plastic bags prevent automated sorting lines from processing the contents. The bag and everything inside it typically ends up in landfill regardless of what's inside.

Example: Tins, bottles, cardboard: loose in the yellow bin, not in a bag.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get rid of furniture or a mattress in Armadale?

Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Stonnington City runs a hard waste service, either booked on demand or on scheduled dates depending on the area; the booking form and accepted items list are on the council website. Charities collect saleable furniture free.

Why does my neighbour in Armadale have a different bin day?

Collection routes are planned street by street, so two nearby addresses can sit on different runs, and near a boundary they can even sit in different councils. Collection days in Armadale vary by street, so check your exact address. Confirm with your own address rather than copying the neighbours.

What goes in the green bin?

Grass clippings, leaves, small branches and prunings. If Stonnington City runs a FOGO service, food scraps can join them in an approved compostable liner; if the lid says garden organics only, keep food out. When unsure, check the lid sticker or the council website.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Armadale bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
  • Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and Stonnington City's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
  • Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Stonnington City tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
