Frequently asked questions

What counts as recycling contamination?

Anything in the yellow bin that does not belong: food soiled packaging, soft plastics, clothing, electrical items. It matters because a contaminated load from Jeeralang can send a whole truck to landfill, and Latrobe City can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.

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

Can broken glass go in the recycling bin?

No. Unbroken bottles and jars belong in the yellow bin, but broken glass is a hazard for sorting staff. Wrap it in newspaper, seal it in a bag and put it in the general waste bin.

Quick tips for bin night

  • The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Jeeralang households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
  • Loose, not bagged. Tip recycling in loose. A tied bag cannot be opened on the sorting line, so the whole lot gets treated as rubbish. The bag defeats the entire point.
  • Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Jeeralang bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
