Did you know?

Lithium batteries cause hundreds of fires in waste trucks and facilities every year.

A button battery or vape tossed in a kerbside bin can ignite under pressure. Batteries belong at a dedicated drop-off, never in any of your three bins.

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 Wyndham 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 do I do with old electronics?

Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Victoria, and Wyndham City lists its e-waste drop off options online, usually the local transfer station plus periodic collection events. Officeworks takes computers, phones and cables in most areas.

Why was my bin in Werribee not collected?

The usual reasons: the lid was not fully closed, the bin was out after the truck passed, contamination was spotted in the recycling, or the truck arm could not reach past a parked car. Wyndham City has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.

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 Werribee households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
  • Caps off, lids on. Small plastic caps come off the bottle and go in the red bin. Metal lids on glass jars can stay put. It is a small rule that trips up a lot of people.
  • Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Werribee bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
