Did you know?

Australia recycles around 84% of paper and cardboard.

Paper is one of the most successfully recovered materials in Australia's waste stream, largely because it's well-understood and sorted effectively kerbside.

Frequently asked questions

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 Maroondah City's green bin accepts food depends on its current rollout; the lid sticker is the quickest check, and the council website confirms it.

What goes in the yellow recycling bin?

Paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, steel and aluminium cans, and rigid plastic containers like bottles, tubs and trays. Soft plastics, food waste and contaminated packaging do not belong in it anywhere in VIC.

What happens if I miss bin night in Ringwood?

General waste catches up next week, but Maroondah City collects recycling and garden organics fortnightly, so a missed night there can mean a two week wait. If a bin is overflowing as a result, Maroondah City may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.

Quick tips for bin night

  • The lid has to close. An overflowing bin with the lid propped open often gets skipped, or spills down the street. If it will not shut, it will not go.
  • Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Ringwood means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One calendar reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
  • Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Ringwood the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
