Frequently asked questions
Can I get a larger or extra bin?
Bayside Council 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 Arncliffe, check what size is standard first, since upgrade policies differ between councils.
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 Bayside Council's green bin accepts food depends on its current rollout; the lid sticker is the quickest check, and the council website confirms it.
Are the bins different if I rent in Arncliffe?
No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever Bayside Council supplies to the address. If bins are missing or broken at a new rental, report it to the council or your property manager; replacement is usually free and does not need the owner.

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 Arncliffe households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
- Face the opening to the street. The lifter arm on Bayside Council's trucks grabs from the road side. Lid opening toward the street, half a metre of clear space each side, and the bin gets emptied instead of skipped.
- Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Bayside Council tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
