Best option for disposal:
Place in your red lid rubbish bin.
Do not put fruit or food waste into your green garden waste bin.
Food waste requires specialised facilities and EPA licenses to process. At this stage there are no facilities in the Geelong area with the capacity to take all of Geelong’s garden and food organics.
We are working on developing new facilities to allow a food waste collection for all of Greater Geelong in 2026.
Otherwise:
Compost your food scraps. City of Greater Geelong offer subsidised home compost units and worm farms to all households. Find out more.
