Frequently asked questions

Why does my neighbour in Toorak Gardens 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 Toorak Gardens that mostly means Monday, though streets near a zone boundary can differ. Confirm with your own address rather than copying the neighbours.

Should I rinse containers before recycling?

A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Toorak Gardens's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections waiting for the next Monday.

What goes in the green bin?

Grass clippings, leaves, small branches and prunings. If Burnside 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 green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Toorak Gardens households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
  • Check your bin before bin night. Monday evening is not the time to discover the bin is still full from last fortnight. A quick check the day before saves a very long fortnight.
  • Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Toorak Gardens bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
