Green waste
Use your green-lidded organics bin for food and small garden waste or take larger garden waste to the Albury Waste Management Centre.
Use your green-lidded organics bin
Your green-lidded bin accepts food scraps and small garden waste, including:
- all food scraps, including meat, fish, bones and cooked food
- fruit and vegetable scraps
- tea bags and coffee grounds
- grass clippings, leaves, flowers and weeds
- small sticks and prunings
- paper towel, tissues, shredded paper and pizza boxes
- pet droppings.
Place food and garden organics loose in the bin. Do not use plastic bags.
Keep these items out
Do not place these items in your green-lidded bin:
- plastic bags, packaging or plastic film
- glass, metal or recyclable containers
- garden tools, hoses, pots or toys
- nappies, including compostable or biodegradable nappies
- soil, gravel, concrete or building materials
- large branches, logs, treated timber or ash
- general household rubbish.
Dispose of larger garden waste
Take large branches, logs and quantities of garden waste that do not fit in your green-lidded bin to Drop-off Area 3 at the Albury Waste Management Centre. Charges may apply.
Eligible residents may use a digital waste and recycling voucher.
What happens to organics?
Food and garden organics collected from green-lidded bins are processed into useful products such as compost and soil conditioners, keeping organic material out of landfill.
