What is FOGO bin collection?

FOGO stands for Food Organics and Garden Organics. Many Australian councils collect FOGO fortnightly, often alternating with recycling. CouncilBins shows next FOGO dates when the council data includes them.

Why do bin days differ within the same suburb?

Most councils schedule by collection zone or property, not by suburb. A single suburb can have two or three bin days. Always use your street address for the accurate night.

Yes. CouncilBins is a free progressive web app. Save addresses and optionally enable bin-night reminders on your phone.

Where does Northern Territory schedule data come from?

From council open data portals, data.gov.au and direct bulk exports. We periodically refresh feeds. Not every Northern Territory council publishes machine-readable schedules yet — those LGAs can share a CSV or GeoJSON via our For Councils page.

Why bin days vary by street

Councils almost never use one day for an entire suburb. Collection is organised by zone or property route — so two streets in the same suburb can have different waste, recycling and FOGO nights. Always search with your street number for the accurate answer.

Public holidays sometimes shift put-out times. When in doubt, confirm temporary changes on your council’s official waste page — CouncilBins mirrors published bulk schedules, not emergency alerts.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find my bin collection day in Northern Territory?

Enter street and suburb above. Where open data includes zone maps or property feeds, we pin waste, recycling and FOGO nights automatically.

What is FOGO?

FOGO means Food Organics and Garden Organics — usually the green-lid bin. Many councils collect it fortnightly, alternating with recycling.

Why isn’t my council listed as full coverage?

Some councils only publish PDFs or address tools without bulk open data. Use Coverage to see status, or ask your LGA to share a machine-readable feed via For Councils.

Is this the official council website?

No. CouncilBins is an independent multi-council app that uses public open data and council submissions. Always follow your council for service rules and holiday changes.
