Green space, green bin. The garden organics collection is more useful here than you might think.

Living near parks and waterways means more yard material. Council has a separate stream for that.

Recycling rule worth knowing

Empty and dry liquid containers before they go in.

Leftover liquid soaks into paper and cardboard in the same bin, ruining it for recycling and making the load heavier and harder to process.

Example: Tip out the last of the milk or juice and give the bottle a quick drain before it goes in the yellow bin.

Frequently asked questions

Can I put my bins in any spot on the kerb?

Place bins on the footpath or nature strip near the kerb, with the lid opening facing the road, and leave a gap of about half a metre around each one. Trucks with an automated arm need clear space and cannot reach bins blocked by cars, poles, or trees.

What goes in the green bin?

Green-lid bins typically take garden waste: grass clippings, leaves, small branches, and prunings. If your council runs a FOGO (Food Organics and Garden Organics) service, food scraps can go in too, usually in an approved compostable liner.

Should I rinse containers before recycling?

A quick rinse is enough. Containers do not need to be spotless, just empty and free of large food residue. A few seconds under the tap, or a swish with leftover dishwater, keeps the load clean without wasting water.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid won't close. Lids need to close for collection. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
  • 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.
