Recycling one tonne of paper saves around 13 trees and thousands of litres of water.

Paper can be recycled five to seven times before the fibres become too short. Keeping it clean and dry in the yellow bin is what makes that possible.

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 Port Phillip 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 green bin?

Grass clippings, leaves, small branches and prunings. If Port Phillip City 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.

Are the bins different if I rent in St Kilda?

No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever Port Phillip City supplies to the address. If bins are missing or broken at a new rental, report it to the council or your property manager; replacement is usually free and does not need the owner.

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.
  • Empty it before you bin it. A half full bottle leaks through the paper and cardboard sharing its bin. Drain liquids first and the whole load stays cleaner.
  • The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most St Kilda households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
