Correct bin: General Waste (red lid).
The waterproof plastic lining means a standard takeaway cup cannot be recycled kerbside. The lid is sometimes recyclable if it is rigid plastic, but the cup itself is not.
Avoid: Don't assume a paper-looking cup is recyclable. A reusable cup avoids the problem entirely.
A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Toongabbie's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections waiting for the next Tuesday.
FOGO means Food Organics and Garden Organics: food scraps composted along with garden waste in the green bin. Whether Latrobe City's green bin accepts food depends on its current rollout; the lid sticker is the quickest check, and the council website confirms it.
Latrobe City collects recycling fortnightly, alternating with the garden organics bin. The typical Toongabbie collection day is Tuesday, and an address search shows which fortnight you are in right now.
