Never bag your recycling. Put items directly in the bin..
Plastic bags prevent automated sorting lines from processing the contents. The bag and everything inside it typically ends up in landfill regardless of what's inside.
Example: Tins, bottles, cardboard: loose in the yellow bin, not in a bag.
Common reasons include: the bin lid wasn't fully closed, the bin wasn't at the kerb before the truck passed, there was contamination in the recycling bin, or the bin was blocking the truck's mechanical arm. Your council's website usually has a missed collection form.
In many councils, recycling is collected every two weeks, often alternating with garden organics. Some areas run weekly recycling, and a few run weekly general waste with fortnightly everything else. Enter your address above to find your specific schedule.
FOGO stands for Food Organics and Garden Organics. It is a kerbside service where food scraps go in the same bin as garden waste and are composted. Not every council offers it yet. If your green bin lid says garden organics only, keep food out of it.
The bay suburbs each run their own collection schedules. Here are the closest ones to check.
