Frequently asked questions

What is FOGO and does it apply here?

FOGO means food scraps composted together with garden waste in a green bin. Port Fairy's standard lineup does not currently include that bin, so food waste goes in general waste for now; councils across VIC are progressively adding organics services.

What happens if I miss bin night in Port Fairy?

General waste catches up next week, but Moyne Shire collects recycling fortnightly, so a missed night there can mean a two week wait. If a bin is overflowing as a result, Moyne Shire 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 Port Fairy's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections.

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 Port Fairy bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
  • Loose, not bagged. Tip recycling in loose. A tied bag cannot be opened on the sorting line, so the whole lot gets treated as rubbish. The bag defeats the entire point.
  • Caps off, lids on. Small plastic caps come off the bottle and go in the red bin. Metal lids on glass jars can stay put. It is a small rule that trips up a lot of people.
