Did you know?

Contamination rates in Australian recycling bins average around 15%.

When non-recyclables end up in the yellow bin, they can divert entire loads to landfill. The most common contaminants are soft plastics, food waste, and soiled packaging.

Frequently asked questions

Do I get money back for drink containers?

Every Australian state and territory now runs a container deposit scheme, paying 10 cents for eligible drink containers returned to a depot or reverse vending machine. Containers you redeem this way are kept separate from your kerbside recycling.

What is FOGO and do I have it?

FOGO stands for Food Organics and Garden Organics. It is a kerbside service where food scraps go in the same bin as garden waste and are composted. Not every council offers it yet. If your green bin lid says garden organics only, keep food out of it.

What goes in the green bin?

Green-lid bins typically take garden waste: grass clippings, leaves, small branches, and prunings. If your council runs a FOGO (Food Organics and Garden Organics) service, food scraps can go in too, usually in an approved compostable liner.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Loose, not bagged. Tip your recycling in loose. A tied bag can't be opened on the sorting line, so the whole lot gets treated as rubbish. The bag defeats the entire point.
  • The lid has to close. An overflowing bin with the lid propped open often gets skipped, or spills down the street. If it won't shut, it won't go.
  • Rain isn't an excuse. The bin doesn't care if it's raining. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
