Food Waste Recycling - Food Waste will be able to go in your Garden Bin

From August 3rd 2020, all Casey residents can put both food and garden waste into their dark red bin. This will now be called the food + garden waste bin. Using this service is optional and details about which items are accepted in the food + garden bin can be found at here at Casey’s Food Waste Recycling page.

Background

At Casey we are always trying to improve the ways we manage waste, to best serve our growing community and the environment. About 30% of household rubbish is food scraps and waste. Food Waste Recycling enables Casey residents to recycle their household food waste by putting it into the garden bin. The food and garden material collected from residents will be turned into compost. There will be no changes to the frequency or day of Casey's kerbside services.

Additional food waste caddies will be distributed at Casey events throughout 2021. Please refer to https://www.casey.vic.gov.au/events for upcoming events.
