Christmas and New Year cause the longest delays

The period between Christmas and New Year is the most disruptive for collections. Many councils run reduced schedules over the summer break, with some pickups delayed by several days. The official council website is the most reliable source during this stretch.

Tip: Set a reminder for the week before Christmas to check your council's holiday schedule. The window for putting out general waste before the break fills up fast.

Frequently asked questions

What goes in the green bin?

Grass clippings, leaves, small branches and prunings. If Canberra (ACT) 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 counts as recycling contamination?

Anything in the yellow bin that does not belong: food soiled packaging, soft plastics, clothing, electrical items. It matters because a contaminated load from Casey can send a whole truck to landfill, and Canberra (ACT) can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.

Can I recycle pizza boxes?

A clean, dry pizza box is fine in the yellow bin. If the base is soaked with grease, tear off and recycle the clean lid and put the greasy half in general waste. This rule is the same across every ACT council, Canberra (ACT) included.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Casey means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One recurring Wednesday evening reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
  • The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Casey households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
  • 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.
