Disposing of organic waste is a problem that every Brisbane household faces. According to the NGER technical guidelines, food and garden organics make up more than 50% of a typical Australian household rubbish bin. The breakdown shows the following materials: food organics (35%), metals, plastics, glass and other inert material (28%), garden organics (16.5%), paper and cardboard (13%) and other organics and residuals (7.5%).
With these findings, it’s not surprising for me to have so many enquiries from residents looking for garden bags in Brisbane. They are indeed a great way to remove organic waste. However, there are many other options at hand.
Today we will look at the FOOD AND GARDEN ORGANICS, Best Practice Collection Manual which was prepared for the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities, to see how they suggest organic waste be handled.
Curbside collection of organic waste
Curbside’s collection of garden organics has been introduced by the local Brisbane councils. With these bins, you can easily dispose of garden waste in the council’s fortnightly collection.
Curbside collection of food organics, separately from garden organics, is not really prevalent in Brisbane. Most local councils opt to combine the collection of food and garden organics in a single container. This increases the yield of organic waste collected without requiring an additional collection run.
However, it is recommended that food and garden waste should be collected separately. This is because garden waste can be processed relatively easily, while food waste requires expensive enclosed processing technology for processing. If these two types of waste are combined, the only way to recycle them is together using expensive enclosed systems.

Conclusion:
When it comes to disposing of organic waste properly, you have two options on hand – kerbside collection or garden bags in Brisbane. With curbside collection, you can choose to dispose of either your garden waste or garden waste along with food waste. However, this service is not very flexible, and collections occur once every fortnight. On the other hand, with garden bags, you can dispose of all organic waste in one collection service. Moreover, garden bag collection is much more flexible as compared to curbside collection.
