Australian Capital Territory ยท Bin night

Which bins go out this week?

The short answer

In the Australian Capital Territory, which bins go out depends on your council and your street. Pick your collection day, set how often each bin goes out, and it shows this week's bins and the next four collections. Settings live in the page link, so bookmark it once it is set.

Set your collection day and each bin's cycle once, and it works out every week after, including which fortnight you are in.

Pick the weekday your bins are collected, then set how often each bin goes out.

Your suburb stays in this link and is not sent anywhere.

How often each bin goes out

The ACT Government runs kerbside collection territory-wide. Some older general waste bins still have a dark green lid, which is not the lime green garden waste bin. Glass goes in the yellow lid bin, and food scraps only go in the lime bin in the FOGO pilot suburbs.

Why doesn't this know my council?

Australia has roughly 537 councils and no shared bin-day API. You already know your bin day, so the tool asks once, does the fortnight arithmetic, and keeps your answer in the page link.
