Frequently asked questions

What goes in the green bin?

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

Where exactly should the bin go on the kerb?

On the footpath or nature strip close to the kerb, lid opening facing the street, with about half a metre clear on each side. The trucks Burwood runs use an automated arm, and bins in Croydon blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.

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 Croydon can send a whole truck to landfill, and Burwood can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
  • Rain is not an excuse. The bin does not care if it is raining. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
  • Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Burwood tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
