These are the bins Hobart City supplies to North Hobart households, each on its own cycle, which is why the kerb looks different from week to week.
Old streetscapes, modern bin schedule. The two coexist just fine.
Whatever year your house was built, the kerbside collection is very much a current-era thing.
North Hobart falls under Hobart City for waste and recycling collections.

Correct bin: General Waste (red lid).
The waterproof plastic lining means a standard takeaway cup cannot be recycled kerbside. The lid is sometimes recyclable if it is rigid plastic, but the cup itself is not.
Avoid: Don't assume a paper-looking cup is recyclable. A reusable cup avoids the problem entirely.
FOGO means Food Organics and Garden Organics: food scraps composted along with garden waste in the green bin. Whether Hobart City's green bin accepts food depends on its current rollout; the lid sticker is the quickest check, and the council website confirms it.
Paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, steel and aluminium cans, and rigid plastic containers like bottles, tubs and trays. Soft plastics, food waste and contaminated packaging do not belong in it anywhere in TAS.
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.
