Correct bin: General Waste (red lid).
Disposable nappies and baby wipes are general waste, even the ones labelled biodegradable, which do not break down in a standard kerbside system.
Avoid: Don't flush wipes, even flushable ones. They contribute to blockages in the sewer network.
Anything in the yellow bin that does not belong: food soiled packaging, soft plastics, clothing, electrical items. It matters because a contaminated load from Dennington can send a whole truck to landfill, and Warrnambool City can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.
Grass clippings, leaves, small branches and prunings. If Warrnambool City 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.
