Across Burwood Council (excluding FOGO Trial Area):
- General waste bin (red lid) is collected weekly.
- Recycling bin (yellow lid) and garden vegetation (green lid) are collected fortnightly.
- If your usual collection day falls on a public holiday, your bin will still be emptied. Be sure to place your bin out the evening before your scheduled collection as the trucks may collect earlier than usual due to waste transfer facilities having restricted opening times on public holidays.
If your property is part of the FOGO Trial Area, or you’d like to learn more about the FOGO service, visit the FOGO page.
