Frequently asked questions

What goes in the green bin?

Green-lid bins typically take garden waste: grass clippings, leaves, small branches, and prunings. If your council runs a FOGO (Food Organics and Garden Organics) service, food scraps can go in too, usually in an approved compostable liner.

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.

Are bottle caps recyclable?

Metal screw-top lids from glass jars and bottles can stay on when you put them in the yellow bin. Small plastic caps on plastic bottles should generally be removed, as they're often a different plastic type. Large plastic lids from takeaway containers are fine in recycling.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Set a reminder now. Missed bin night? That's a two-week wait for general waste. One calendar reminder costs you nothing. The two-week smell costs something.
  • 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.
  • Empty it before you bin it. A half-full bottle leaks through the paper and cardboard sharing its bin. Drain liquids first and the whole load stays cleaner.
