Diamond Creek bin day at a glance

Green space, green bin. The garden organics collection is more useful here than you might think.

Living near parks and waterways means more yard material. Council has a separate stream for that.

Recycling rule worth knowing

Keep lids closed on your recycling bin on collection day.

An overflowing recycling bin with the lid open can have its contents spilled by wind or rejected by the collection truck's automated arm.

Example: If your bin is full, break down any large cardboard boxes to make room rather than stacking items on top.

Frequently asked questions

What goes in the yellow recycling bin?

The yellow-lid bin accepts paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, steel and aluminium cans, and rigid plastic containers (bottles, tubs, trays). Soft plastics, food waste, and contaminated packaging don't belong in it.

Can I put broken glass in the recycling bin?

Unbroken glass bottles and jars belong in recycling. Broken glass is a safety hazard for sorting staff and collection workers. Wrap it in newspaper, place it in a sealed bag, and put it in the general waste bin instead.

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

  • Check your bin before bin night. Bin night is not the time to discover your bin is still full from last fortnight. A quick check the day before saves you a very long fortnight.
  • Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin. There is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
  • 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.
