Empty and dry liquid containers before they go in.
Leftover liquid soaks into paper and cardboard in the same bin, ruining it for recycling and making the load heavier and harder to process.
Example: Tip out the last of the milk or juice and give the bottle a quick drain before it goes in the yellow bin.
Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Canberra (ACT) 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.
FOGO means Food Organics and Garden Organics: food scraps composted along with garden waste in the green bin. Whether Canberra (ACT)'s green bin accepts food depends on its current rollout; the lid sticker is the quickest check, and the council website confirms it.
No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever Canberra (ACT) 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.
The streets around here all have their own bin days. Here are the nearby suburbs worth bookmarking.
