Fairfield City’s green bins are coming!

Good news!

Mayor of Fairfield Frank Carbone is excited to announce that your new green bin and kitchen caddy will be arriving from April this year, with the service kicking off in June.

What you get
🟢 A new 240L green bin for grass, branches and food scraps to be collected fortnightly
🌿 A small kitchen caddy to collect your food scraps to put in the green bin
♻️ Certified compostable liners for your kitchen caddy (these are the ONLY liners that can go in the green bin)

What you keep
🔴 Your red bin will stay the same size and will still be collected weekly (unlike other councils who have reduced the size and frequency)
🟡 Your yellow recycling bin will stay the same size and will still be collected fortnightly (alternating with your green bin fortnightly collection)

💰 How much will it cost?
Council’s domestic waste levy will be frozen so you won’t have to pay any extra $$$

🌏 Do the right thing. Use the right bin. We can only keep our waste levy low if everyone does the right thing. By putting garden waste and food scraps in the green bin, there will be less overall in the red bin which means we pay less to the State Government in waste taxes. Currently we pay the State Government about $180 for every red bin in Fairfield City and we want to reduce it.

So remember – in the green bin goes grass, branches, food scraps. No paper, no cardboard, no plastic.
