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 in Newport?

General waste catches up next week, but Hobsons Bay City collects recycling and garden organics fortnightly, so a missed night there can mean a two week wait. If a bin is overflowing as a result, Hobsons Bay City may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.

Should I rinse containers before recycling?

A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Newport's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections.

Can I put the bin out the night before?

Yes, and it is the safer habit. Hobsons Bay City asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Newport can run early. The evening before beats the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Newport bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
  • Check your bin before bin night. Bin night is not the time to discover the bin is still full from last fortnight. A quick check the day before saves a very long fortnight.
  • The lid has to close. An overflowing bin with the lid propped open often gets skipped, or spills down the street. If it will not shut, it will not go.
