Waste Transfer Stations

Food & vegetable scraps

Food and vegetable scraps can go in your home compost or your general waste bin (red lid).

Foods that cannot be composted at home (eg. meats, dairy, fats and bone) can be disposed of in your rubbish bin (red bin or transfer station).

Refer to our composting your food waste page for information on how to compost at home, or join YIMBY, a community-run backyard composting project, where hot composting can process a wider range of food waste.
