Some things don't change regardless of how old the neighbourhood is.

Visit Stonnington City website for the official policy and any service updates.
Remove caps and lids from plastic bottles before recycling.
Caps are often a different type of plastic that causes contamination if mixed with the bottle material. Metal screw-top lids on glass jars are the exception and those can stay on.
Example: Milk bottles, shampoo bottles, soft drink bottles: pop the cap off first.
Anything in the yellow bin that does not belong: food soiled packaging, soft plastics, clothing, electrical items. It matters because a contaminated load from Malvern can send a whole truck to landfill, and Stonnington City can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.
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.
FOGO means Food Organics and Garden Organics: food scraps composted along with garden waste in the green bin. Whether Stonnington City's green bin accepts food depends on its current rollout; the lid sticker is the quickest check, and the council website confirms it.
