Placing bins

  • Place bins near the kerb with wheels nearest to your home.
  • Leave 30cm between bins.
  • Keep bins clear from trees, poles or parked cars.
  • Make sure lids can close (do not overfill).
  • Place bins of the same type together (FOGO, recycling, rubbish).

If you live in a court, place bins out on a straight part of the court.

Filling bins

Bins belong to us: you must leave them behind if you move.

All the bins we collect and empty have serial numbers. They support our promise to improve our services and the efforts across Banyule to reduce waste to landfill. We recently introduced electronic versions of these serial numbers - like a barcode, to continue improving our waste collection service.
