Recycling rule worth knowing

Return soft plastics to a collection point rather than the kerb.

Bags, wrappers and films tangle in machinery and cannot be processed in kerbside recycling. Dedicated drop-off programs handle them separately when they are running.

Example: Bread bags, pasta packets and bubble wrap: collect them at home and take them to a participating retailer.

Frequently asked questions

How often is recycling collected?

In many councils, recycling is collected every two weeks, often alternating with garden organics. Some areas run weekly recycling, and a few run weekly general waste with fortnightly everything else. Enter your address above to find your specific schedule.

Can I get a larger bin?

Some councils offer larger or additional bins for eligible households, such as large families or medical needs. There's usually a fee. Contact your council's waste services team directly.

What is FOGO and do I have it?

FOGO stands for Food Organics and Garden Organics. It is a kerbside service where food scraps go in the same bin as garden waste and are composted. Not every council offers it yet. If your green bin lid says garden organics only, keep food out of it.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends quietly push collections back a day. Check the council notice before a public holiday so you're not chasing the truck down the street.
  • The lid has to close. An overflowing bin with the lid propped open often gets skipped, or spills down the street. If it won't shut, it won't go.
  • Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling doesn't clean itself. A 10-second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps your bin from becoming a science experiment.
