Bins and waste collection

Waste is collected every week. Recycling bins and the food and green waste bins are collected on alternate weeks.

Has your bin been lost or stolen? Perhaps you've moved into a property that doesn't have a bin. We can help.

The standard Darebin waste bin is 80 litres, but you can ask for a bigger bin if you think you need one.

If we missed your bin during a recent collection, please let us know within 48 hours so we can arrange another collection.

Waste bins are for general rubbish which you can't reuse or recycle.

See what can be put into your recycle bin – and other options if it can't.

What goes into your food and green waste bin, how to use your kitchen caddy, and reducing food waste at home.
