Recycling rule worth knowing

Never bag your recycling. Put items directly in the bin..

Plastic bags prevent automated sorting lines from processing the contents. The bag and everything inside it typically ends up in landfill regardless of what's inside.

Example: Tins, bottles, cardboard: loose in the yellow bin, not in a bag.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get a larger or extra bin?

Kingborough Council 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 Snug, check what size is standard first, since upgrade policies differ between councils.

Why does my neighbour in Snug have a different bin day?

Collection routes are planned street by street, so two nearby addresses can sit on different runs, and near a boundary they can even sit in different councils. In Snug that mostly means Friday, though streets near a zone boundary can differ. Confirm with your own address rather than copying the neighbours.

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 Kingborough Council'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

  • Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Snug bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
  • Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Snug means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One recurring Friday evening reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
  • The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Snug households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
