What goes where: nappies and wipes

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.

Frequently asked questions

What do I do with old electronics?

Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Victoria, and Frankston City lists its e-waste drop off options online, usually the local transfer station plus periodic collection events. Officeworks takes computers, phones and cables in most areas.

Can I put the bin out the night before?

Yes, and it is the safer habit. Frankston City asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Frankston North can run early. Putting bins out on the evening before the Tuesday run avoids the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.

Why does my neighbour in Frankston North have a different bin day?

Collection routes are planned street by street, so two nearby addresses can sit on different runs, and near a boundary they can even sit in different councils. In Frankston North that mostly means Tuesday, though streets near a zone boundary can differ. Confirm with your own address rather than copying the neighbours.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Face the opening to the street. The lifter arm on Frankston City's trucks grabs from the road side. Lid opening toward the street, half a metre of clear space each side, and the bin gets emptied instead of skipped.
  • Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night, and in most of Frankston North that night is Tuesday. These are two different things and both matter.
  • 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.
