Did you know?
Garden organics diverted from landfill become compost and mulch.
A full, clean green-lid bin is genuinely valuable. The material is processed into soil amendment used on farms, council parks, and revegetation projects.
Frequently asked questions
What goes in the green bin?
Grass clippings, leaves, small branches and prunings. If Maribyrnong 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.
How do I get rid of furniture or a mattress in Ascot Vale?
Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Maribyrnong 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.
Can broken glass go in the recycling bin?
No. Unbroken bottles and jars belong in the yellow bin, but broken glass is a hazard for sorting staff. Wrap it in newspaper, seal it in a bag and put it in the general waste bin.

Quick tips for bin night
- Know your fortnight. Ascot Vale alternates its fortnightly bins, and guessing wrong is the classic move. The neighbours' kerb on bin morning is the traditional answer; an address search is the reliable one.
- Loose, not bagged. Tip recycling in loose. A tied bag cannot be opened on the sorting line, so the whole lot gets treated as rubbish. The bag defeats the entire point.
- Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Maribyrnong City tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
