Caulfield is collected by City of Glen Eira. Check your next collection date and which bins go out.
Which council collects Caulfield?
Caulfield is in City of Glen Eira, Victoria.
That is the council that decides your collection day, supplies your bins and publishes the
schedule — so it is the council name to look for on any official bin information.
This trips people up more than it should. Council boundaries rarely match the suburb names
people actually use, and a suburb can sit on the edge of one council while the shops you drive
to are in the next one. If you have just moved to Caulfield, or you are checking on behalf of a
rental, City of Glen Eira is who you are dealing with. Our full
City of Glen Eira bin day guide has the detail

Caulfield bin colours and collection frequency

in Caulfield:
Glen Eira is another council where FOGO is weekly and general waste is only fortnightly. Red and yellow alternate fortnightly; lime green goes out every week.
Why your street may differ from the rest of Caulfield
Knowing the council is only half of it. City of Glen Eira divides its area into collection zones so
the trucks can work through it across the week, and those zone lines do not follow suburb
boundaries. A single suburb the size of Caulfield is often split across two or more collection
days, which is why a neighbour a few streets away can be a reliable-sounding but wrong source.
The other half is which week you are in.
General waste here is fortnightly , while recycling is fortnightly (alternates with red) , and food and garden organics (fogo) is weekly.
Anything on a fortnightly cycle means counting weeks, and public holidays shift the count.
The checker above returns the actual next date for each bin, so there is nothing to count.
