Frequently asked questions
Can broken glass go in the recycling bin?
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.
What goes in the green bin?
Grass clippings, leaves, small branches and prunings. If City of Tea Tree Gully runs a FOGO service, food scraps can join them in an approved compostable liner; if the lid says garden organics only, keep food out. When unsure, check the lid sticker or the council website.
What is FOGO and does it apply here?
FOGO means Food Organics and Garden Organics: food scraps composted along with garden waste in the green bin. Whether City of Tea Tree Gully's green bin accepts food depends on its current rollout; the lid sticker is the quickest check, and the council website confirms it.

Quick tips for bin night
- Face the opening to the street. The lifter arm on City of Tea Tree Gully's trucks grabs from the road side. Lid opening toward the street, half a metre of clear space each side, and the bin gets emptied instead of skipped.
- Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Ridgehaven bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
- Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and City of Tea Tree Gully's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
