Frequently asked questions
Where exactly should the bin go on the kerb?
On the footpath or nature strip close to the kerb, lid opening facing the street, with about half a metre clear on each side. The trucks Frankston City runs use an automated arm, and bins in Langwarrin blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.
Should I rinse containers before recycling?
A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Langwarrin's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections waiting for the next Friday.
What goes in the green bin?
Grass clippings, leaves, small branches and prunings. If Frankston City runs a FOGO service, food scraps can join them in an approved compostable liner; if the lid says garden organics only, keep food out. When unsure, check the lid sticker or the council website.

Quick tips for bin night
- Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Frankston City tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
- Rain is not an excuse. The bin does not care if it is raining on Friday night. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
- Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Langwarrin bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
