Lime green-lid food and garden organics (FOGO) bins will be delivered to residents who receive a Council waste collection service between April and June 2024. The FOGO collection service will begin on the week of 1 July 2024. Learn more.
Learn about recycling and rubbish in the City of Yarra, including bin collection days, hard waste collections, composting and worm farming, recycling drop-off points, and helpful tips on avoiding waste in the first place.
Every household, business and building serviced by Council is given three types of bins:
- A red or dark green-lid rubbish bin, collected weekly
- A purple-lid glass bin, collected every second week, on the alternate week to the recycling bin
- A yellow-lid recycling bin, collected every second week, on the alternate week to the glass bin
To help remember your pickup schedule, you can check our bin collection page to find your zone and download a calendar.
Residents can book up to two hard rubbish collections each year.
Note: Hard rubbish collections are not available for commercial properties or apartments with private waste arrangements.
