Doing your bit to separate food scraps from your landfill waste reduces greenhouse gas emissions and helps us make delicious compost for our soil.
Your food scraps bin is collected every week on your collection day. Check out our bin collection schedule if you're not sure of your day.
Make sure you position it where our drivers will see it, about 30cms from your wheelie bins. Please keep the weight of the contents below 10kg.
You can line your food scraps bin with newspaper, paper towels or cabbage leaves to help keep it clean.
Using your food scraps bin is an easy way to help the environment.
