Council Bin Liners Used in Australian Waste Programs
Australian councils operate a wide range of waste streams, each with different liner requirements.
Council bin liners are typically selected based on:
- Bin size (e.g. 120L / 240L wheelie bins)
- Waste type (general waste, organics, FOGO)
- Certification requirements
- Durability for high-volume public use
- Supplier capacity for long-term contracts
Unlike household bin liners, council bin liners must perform reliably under heavy, wet, and abrasive waste conditions while remaining compliant with environmental standards.
Bin Liner Requirements by Council Waste Stream
General Waste (Non-Organic)
Used in public spaces, facilities, and municipal services.
- Heavy-duty performance
- Leak resistance for mixed waste
- Consistent sizing for council wheelie bins
Organics & FOGO Waste
Used in council-led food and garden organics programs.
- Certified compostable liners required
- Designed to reduce contamination in compost streams
- Accepted by commercial composting facilities
For certification rules and compliance background, refer to: AS4736 & AS5810 Certification Requirements for FOGO Programs
Council Use in FOGO Programs
Certified compostable bin liners are specified components of council-run FOGO (Food Organics & Garden Organics) programs.
They help councils:
- Reduce contamination in green bins
- Improve compost facility acceptance rates
- Support community education and participation
- Meet state and national waste-reduction targets
FOGO programs typically require AS4736-certified liners for kerbside collection, with AS5810 used for kitchen caddy applications in supported regions.

How Council Bin Liners Are Specified in Tenders
Council procurement documents and waste-service tenders usually specify bin liners using clear technical and compliance criteria.
Typical tender specifications include:
- Bin capacity (e.g. 120L or 240L wheelie bins)
- Waste stream (general waste or organics / FOGO)
- Required certification (AS4736 / AS5810 where applicable)
- Minimum thickness and load rating
- Packaging format and annual volume
- Supplier documentation and audit support
Suppliers must demonstrate stable manufacturing capacity, consistent quality, and full compliance documentation.
Council Bin Liner Sizes Commonly Used
Council waste programs across Australia most commonly use the following wheelie bin liner sizes:
- 120L Council Wheelie Bin Liners – schools, public facilities, and light commercial sites
- 240L Council Wheelie Bin Liners – kerbside collection, parks, and high-volume locations
Each size is designed to match standard Australian council wheelie bins to improve handling efficiency and reduce bag failure during collection.

Planning Bulk Council Bin Liner Supply
Council waste teams typically plan bin liner procurement on an annual or multi-year basis to ensure operational stability.
Factors considered include:
- Number of bins in service
- Collection frequency
- Seasonal waste volume changes
- Storage and distribution logistics
Bulk packaging options may include cartons, pallets, or scheduled deliveries aligned with council operational cycles.
OEM & Custom Council Bin Liners
Council bin liners are often customised to support waste-sorting programs and public education.
Customisation options include:
- Council logos and identification marks
- FOGO or waste-stream instructions
- Colour coding for different waste types
- Custom sizes and thickness based on site requirements
- Packaging formats for council distribution
These options help councils improve compliance, reduce contamination, and standardise waste handling across facilities.
