The standard Kambah lineup from Canberra (ACT) is listed below. Because the cycles differ, no two weeks put exactly the same bins on the kerb.
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.
Kambah falls under Canberra (ACT) for waste and recycling collections.
Visit Canberra (ACT) website for the official policy and any service updates.
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.
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. Canberra (ACT) has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.
FOGO means Food Organics and Garden Organics: food scraps composted along with garden waste in the green bin. Whether Canberra (ACT)'s green bin accepts food depends on its current rollout; the lid sticker is the quickest check, and the council website confirms it.
Paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, steel and aluminium cans, and rigid plastic containers like bottles, tubs and trays. Soft plastics, food waste and contaminated packaging do not belong in it anywhere in ACT.
The surrounding suburbs each have their own collection days. Here are the closest ones.
