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
Why was my bin in Homebush not collected?
The usual reasons: the lid was not fully closed, the bin was out after the truck passed, contamination was spotted in the recycling, or the truck arm could not reach past a parked car. Strathfield Municipal has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.
Why does my neighbour in Homebush 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. Collection days in Homebush vary by street, so check your exact address. Confirm with your own address rather than copying the neighbours.
What is FOGO and does it apply here?
FOGO means Food Organics and Garden Organics: food scraps composted along with garden waste in the green bin. Whether Strathfield Municipal's green bin accepts food depends on its current rollout; the lid sticker is the quickest check, and the council website confirms it.

Quick tips for bin night
- Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Homebush means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One calendar reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
- The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Homebush households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
- Face the opening to the street. The lifter arm on Strathfield Municipal'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.
