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 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 Kiama Municipal's green bin accepts food depends on its current rollout; the lid sticker is the quickest check, and the council website confirms it.

Can I get a larger or extra bin?

Kiama Municipal offers larger or additional bins for eligible households, such as big families or medical needs, usually for a fee. Contact the council's waste team; if you are new to Jamberoo, check what size is standard first, since upgrade policies differ between councils.

What happens to bins on public holidays?

It depends on the holiday and the council. When Kiama Municipal shifts collections, everything from the holiday onward that week usually moves one day later. An address search during a holiday week shows any adjusted dates the council has published.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Check your bin before bin night. Bin night is not the time to discover the bin is still full from last fortnight. A quick check the day before saves a very long fortnight.
  • Know your fortnight. Jamberoo alternates its fortnightly bins, and guessing wrong is the classic move. The neighbours' kerb on bin morning is the traditional answer; an address search is the reliable one.
  • Rain is not an excuse. The bin does not care if it is raining. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
