The average Victorian household generates around 500 kg of waste per year.
About half of that ends up in landfill. The rest is recovered through recycling, organics, and other diversion programs.
FOGO means Food Organics and Garden Organics: food scraps composted along with garden waste in the green bin. Whether Wyndham City's green bin accepts food depends on its current rollout; the lid sticker is the quickest check, and the council website confirms it.
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 Wyndham City runs use an automated arm, and bins in Point Cook blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.
No. Unbroken bottles and jars belong in Point Cook's separate glass 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.
