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 City of Charles Sturt's green bin accepts food depends on its current rollout; the lid sticker is the quickest check, and the council website confirms it.
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 Woodville can send a whole truck to landfill, and City of Charles Sturt can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.
Where exactly should the bin go on the kerb?
On the footpath or nature strip close to the kerb, lid opening facing the street, with about half a metre clear on each side. The trucks City of Charles Sturt runs use an automated arm, and bins in Woodville blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.

Quick tips for bin night
- Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push City of Charles Sturt collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
- Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Woodville bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
- Rain is not an excuse. The bin does not care if it is raining. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
