Collection days and bins

You can put all your food scraps including fish, meat and bones, tea-bags, coffee grounds and cooked foods into your green-lidded bin.

Garden waste such as prunings, grass clippings, sticks, weeds and flowers can also be included. You can also put in paper towel, pizza boxes, shredded paper, tissues and pet droppings.

However, you cannot include things like plastic bags, general household waste, treated or laminated timber, these need to go into your red-lidded bin.

Each year we'll provide new residents with a kitchen caddy and compostable liners and existing residents with additional compostable liners for your food waste. These liners can be placed into your green-lidded bin.

If you require more kitchen caddy liners, please call into the AlburyCity Customer Service Centre or the Lavington Customer Service Centre to collect.

These liners are compostable, please do not purchase non-biodegradable liners as they cannot break down and are not suitable for the organics system.

This bin is for general household waste including plastic bags, cling wrap, rope, polystyrene, disposable nappies and broken items like plates, toys and oven dishes.

Please do not add things like:

• Ashes
• Building or commercial waste
• Liquids

Remember: all food, garden waste and recyclable items need to go into their associated bins.

Items that are too large for your waste bin can be taken to the Albury Waste Management Centre. To save time and money, it's recommended that you sort these items before arriving at the centre.

To request a larger 240 litre general waste bin, your household must:

• place all food waste in the green-lidded organics bin
• place all recyclable material in the yellow-lidded recycling bin
• have six or more household members, or have at least two household members who use nappies or generate additional waste for medical reasons.

All requests for a larger general waste bin are subject to a compulsory bin assessment. Your request will be referred to the Halve Waste team, who will ask you to place all three bins at the kerb for assessment.

If your household does not meet these criteria, you may instead:

• request a 360 litre recycling bin
• order an additional recycling bin
• order an additional organics bin.
