Frequently asked questions
What is FOGO and does it apply here?
FOGO means Food Organics and Garden Organics: food scraps composted along with garden waste in the green bin. Whether Gold Coast City's green bin accepts food depends on its current rollout; the lid sticker is the quickest check, and the council website confirms it.
Are the bins different if I rent in Miami?
No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever Gold Coast City supplies to the address. If bins are missing or broken at a new rental, report it to the council or your property manager; replacement is usually free and does not need the owner.
Should I rinse containers before recycling?
A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Miami's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections waiting for the next Tuesday.

Quick tips for bin night
- The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Miami households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
- Rain is not an excuse. The bin does not care if it is raining on Tuesday night. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
- Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Miami bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
