Did you know?
Food waste accounts for roughly one third of what Australians put in their general waste bins.
Even without a food scraps program, composting at home makes a measurable difference to how much goes to landfill.
Frequently asked questions
Why was my bin in Kenmore 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. Brisbane City has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.
Should I rinse containers before recycling?
A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Kenmore's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections.
What is FOGO and does it apply here?
FOGO means food scraps composted together with garden waste in a green bin. Kenmore's standard lineup does not currently include that bin, so food waste goes in general waste for now; councils across QLD are progressively adding organics services.

Quick tips for bin night
- The lid has to close. An overflowing bin with the lid propped open often gets skipped, or spills down the street. If it will not shut, it will not go.
- Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Kenmore bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
- Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Kenmore bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
