Frequently asked questions

What counts as recycling contamination?

Anything in the yellow bin that does not belong: food soiled packaging, soft plastics, clothing, electrical items. It matters because a contaminated load from Tarneit can send a whole truck to landfill, and Wyndham City can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.

How often is recycling collected in Tarneit?

Wyndham City collects recycling fortnightly, alternating with the garden organics bin. The typical Tarneit collection day is Monday, and an address search shows which fortnight you are in right now.

What goes in the green bin?

Grass clippings, leaves, small branches and prunings. If Wyndham 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.

Quick tips for bin night

  • The lid has to close. An overflowing bin with the lid propped open often gets skipped, and then it waits until the following Monday, 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.
  • Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Wyndham City tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
