128 councils, all states
One postcode opens the rules for where you live: what goes in which bin, when hard rubbish runs, your green waste service and your nearest tip. No council website maze.
Four standard lids across the country. Your council decides which services run and exactly what each bin accepts.
We match it to your local government area, even where a postcode straddles two councils.
Bin lid colours, hard rubbish process and green waste, in plain language, verified from the council.
Book hard rubbish, find your nearest tip, or get overflow help when something will not fit.
The lid colour is the fastest signal of where waste belongs. It is a national starting point, not the final word, so always confirm the accepted-item list on your own council page.
Everyday rubbish that cannot be recycled or composted. Bagged food scraps where there is no organics service.
Household containers and paper, placed loose so they can be sorted at the recycling facility.
Garden material, and food scraps too where a food and garden organics (FOGO) service runs.
A separate glass bin in a growing number of councils, so bottles and jars are recycled cleanly.
For a load you would rather take yourself, our sister guide maps every tip, recycling centre and transfer station in Australia with fees and opening hours.

Enter your postcode in the search at the top of the page. Kerbside opens the page for your council with its bin lid colours, hard rubbish process and green waste service, plus a link to the official council page.
Australian Standard AS 4123 sets the national reference: red for general waste, yellow for recycling, green for garden or food organics, and purple for a separate glass bin. Councils still set their own accepted-item lists, so the council page comes first.
It depends on your council. Some run scheduled area collections a few times a year, others ask you to book a pickup online. Your council page on Kerbside explains which system applies and links to the booking page.
For bulky items outside the hard rubbish window, or loads a council will not take, a local skip bin or rubbish removal service can clear it. You can request one from your council page without any phone numbers to copy down.
