Find your Melbourne City bin night
Street + suburb works best. Multi-day suburbs need an address so we can pin the correct zone.
Preferred path: OCD day-zone polygons (street pin) + 2026–27 calendar schedule model (waste weekly, FOGO weekly, recycling fortnightly epoch 2026-07-06). No property-level feed. Open-data rub_start/rec_start still 2015 and rec_weeks=1 — overridden. Some multi-unit communal FOGO sites have weekly recycling (not modelled). Holiday exceptions (Good Friday, Christmas Day) per council.
About Melbourne City schedules
Kerbside bin nights in Melbourne City are set by collection zone (or property), not by suburb alone. That means two homes on different streets in the same suburb can have different days for garbage, recycling and FOGO.
CouncilBins supports Victoria’s open data initiative: when Melbourne City publishes machine-readable schedules (CSV, GeoJSON or ArcGIS), we import and periodically refresh them so residents get one reliable experience.
Data attribution: City of Melbourne open data — Garbage collection zones (OCD) + 2026–27 calendars
