Did you know?

Around 130 kilograms of food waste is thrown out per person in Australia each year.

Most of it could be diverted through a FOGO service or home composting. Food in landfill breaks down without oxygen and releases methane, a potent greenhouse gas.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if I miss bin night?

Recycling and garden organics are collected fortnightly in many councils, so a missed night can mean waiting two weeks. Some councils let you report an overflowing bin for a special collection. Check your council's website for their missed collection process.

What is FOGO and do I have it?

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.

Can I put the bin out the night before?

Most councils say bins should be at the kerb by 6 AM on collection day but can go out the evening before. Keep them off the road and clear of driveways, parked cars, and other bins.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Check your bin before bin night. Bin night is not the time to discover your bin is still full from last fortnight. A quick check the day before saves you a very long fortnight.
  • The green bin loves your garden. The green bin isn't a mulching service, but it's as close as most households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
  • Loose, not bagged. Tip your recycling in loose. A tied bag can't be opened on the sorting line, so the whole lot gets treated as rubbish. The bag defeats the entire point.
