City of Bayswater hard rubbish and bin collection

Your kerbside bins#

• Red lid, general waste

  Three-bin FOGO system: a red-lid general waste bin, a yellow-lid recycling bin collected fortnightly, and a lime-green-lid FOGO bin for food organics and garden organics collected weekly.

• Yellow lid, recycling

  Rinsed bottles, jars, cans, paper and cardboard, placed loose. Check the council page for glass and soft plastics rules in your area.

• Green lid, organics

  Food and garden organics go together in the lime-green-lid FOGO bin collected weekly.

The lid colours follow Australian Standard AS 4123 nationally, but the accepted-item list is set by City of Bayswater. See what bin does it go in for the item-by-item answers, and the purple glass bin rollout for where a fourth lid is arriving.

Getting a collection in City of Bayswater#

City of Bayswater takes the booking, sets the date and decides what it will lift, so have your address and an item list ready before you start. Most councils cap the volume per booking, and the rule above is the one that applies here.

Council waste page

How booked and scheduled collections differ across the country is covered in hard rubbish collection in Australia.

When your bin goes out#

Collection day is set by your street address, not by the council area, so this guide does not carry per-street dates and will not guess one. The service pattern for City of Bayswater is below; City of Bayswater publishes the day itself.
