Most households are eligible for at least one 3 cubic metre bulk bin each financial year, choosing between a hard waste bulk bin (white) and a green waste bulk bin (green), subject to property size and verge space.
Your kerbside bins#
- Red lid, general waste
Three-bin FOGO system rolled out from early 2024: a general waste bin, a recycling bin, and a lime-green-lid Food Organics Garden Organics (FOGO) bin. Bins out by 6am with wheels nearest the house.
- 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; a green waste bulk bin is also available through the year.
The lid colours follow Australian Standard AS 4123 nationally, but the accepted-item list is set by City of Belmont. 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 Belmont#
City of Belmont 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.
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 Belmont is below; City of Belmont publishes the day itself.
Garden and food organics in City of Belmont#
Food and garden organics go together in the lime-green-lid FOGO bin; a green waste bulk bin is also available through the year.
Whether a green bin takes food scraps as well as garden material depends on the service your council runs. See the FOGO bin explained, and the item pages for food scraps and garden waste.
