If it once grew, it can go in your green-lid food and organics bin. The following items can go in this bin:

• All food scraps including fruit, vegetables, meat, seafood and egg shells
• Tea bags and coffee grounds
• Tissues, paper towel and serviettes
• Shredded paper and cardboard, post-it notes and small pieces of paper
• Egg cartons
• Pizza boxes, compostable paper and cardboard food packaging
• Compostable kitchen caddy liners
• Nail clippings and hair
• Pet waste - loose or wrapped in newspaper
• Garden waste such as lawn clippings, small branches, leaves, weeds and flowers

Only bags, liners, food packaging and cutlery, certified as 100% compostable can go in your green-lid food and organics bin. Look for the seedling logo (AS 4736) or the home compost logo (AS 5810). Both are accepted in the green-lid food and organics bin.
