Casey residential properties receive two hard waste collections per year, booked online, collected at a nominated time.
Your kerbside bins#
- Red lid, general waste
Standard four-bin service: a weekly rubbish bin, a fortnightly yellow-lid recycling bin, a fortnightly green-lid food and garden organics (FOGO) bin, and a glass bin. Each household is eligible for one free kitchen caddy.
- 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
The green-lid food and garden organics (FOGO) bin is collected fortnightly and accepts food scraps including meat, dairy and citrus along with garden waste.
The lid colours follow Australian Standard AS 4123 nationally, but the accepted-item list is set by City of Casey. 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 Casey#
City of Casey 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 Casey is below; City of Casey publishes the day itself.
