The heritage homes get character. The bins still go out the same as everyone else's.

Some things don't change regardless of how old the neighbourhood is.

About your council's collection service

  • The council operates a fortnightly alternating cycle for recycling and organics bins, with collection days varying by suburb and zone.
  • Rapid growth in Casey means new estates can have different collection schedules from adjacent established areas. Always confirm your day by entering your address.
  • Your specific collection day depends on your street. Enter your address above to find yours.

Recycling rule worth knowing

Remove caps and lids from plastic bottles before recycling.

Caps are often a different type of plastic that causes contamination if mixed with the bottle material. Metal screw-top lids on glass jars are the exception and those can stay on.

Example: Milk bottles, shampoo bottles, soft drink bottles: pop the cap off first.

Frequently asked questions

What goes in the green bin?

Grass clippings, leaves, small branches and prunings. If Casey 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.

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 Casey City's green bin accepts food depends on its current rollout; the lid sticker is the quickest check, and the council website confirms it.

How often is recycling collected in Berwick?

Casey City 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.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Summer bins need managing. A Berwick 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.
  • Caps off, lids on. Small plastic caps come off the bottle and go in the red bin. Metal lids on glass jars can stay put. It is a small rule that trips up a lot of people.
  • The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Berwick households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
