What goes where: nappies and wipes

Correct bin: General Waste (red lid).

Disposable nappies and baby wipes are general waste, even the ones labelled biodegradable, which do not break down in a standard kerbside system.

Avoid: Don't flush wipes, even flushable ones. They contribute to blockages in the sewer network.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get a larger or extra bin?

Kingston City offers larger or additional bins for eligible households, such as big families or medical needs, usually for a fee. Contact the council's waste team; if you are new to Parkdale, check what size is standard first, since upgrade policies differ between councils.

Where exactly should the bin go on the kerb?

On the footpath or nature strip close to the kerb, lid opening facing the street, with about half a metre clear on each side. The trucks Kingston City runs use an automated arm, and bins in Parkdale blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.

Why was my bin in Parkdale not collected?

The usual reasons: the lid was not fully closed, the bin was out after the truck passed, contamination was spotted in the recycling, or the truck arm could not reach past a parked car. Kingston City has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Empty it before you bin it. A half full bottle leaks through the paper and cardboard sharing its bin. Drain liquids first and the whole load stays cleaner.
  • Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Parkdale the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
  • Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push Kingston City collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
