Please note: All new rubbish bins will have red lids and replacement rubbish bin lids will be red as required under the Victorian Government's Recycling Victoria Policy. We're working towards changing all kerbside rubbish bin lids by 2025 as outlined in our Rethinking Waste Plan 2021-2030.
- Rubbish bins are emptied every week
- Recycling bins are emptied every two weeks (fortnightly)
- Glass recycling bins are emptied every four weeks
- Food and garden waste bins (if you have one) are emptied every two weeks, on the alternate week to your recycling bin.
Find out each bin's next collection date
Your bins will be picked up on the usual days, including public holidays, with a few exceptions:
- New Year's Day
- Good Friday
- ANZAC Day
- Christmas Day.
If these holidays are on your usual bin collection day, we'll empty them one day later than usual. This might mean that the rest of the week's bin collection takes place one day later than normal.
Find answers to frequently asked questions about bin collections and waste.
When is my next bin collection?
Visit My Neighbourhood and enter your address to find out when your next bin collection is.
What happens if my bin doesn’t get collected?
If your bin hasn't been emptied, let us know within 48 hours by reporting a missed bin.
What time should I put my bin out?
Put your bin out after 4 pm the day before collection, or before 6 am on collection day.
Where should I put my bin?
Put your bin on the nature strip near your driveway with the wheels facing away from the kerb. Don’t put your bin behind parked cars or too close to overhanging branches. Place bins at least half a metre apart.
If you live in a court, put your bin on the straight of the street, not inside the round part of the court.
Should my rubbish be in bags?
Always place your rubbish in a bag before putting it in the bin.
Do not use bags for recycle items, they can be placed loose into your recycling bin.
Should my recycling be in bags?
Don't put your recycling in a bag. These items must be placed loose into your recycling bin.
Is there a weight limit for my bin?
Your bin should not be heavier than 50 kg.
When should I bring my bin in?
On the same day it's emptied.
What if my bin is too full?
If you have more rubbish than you can fit into your bin, keep your bagged rubbish aside and place into your bin once it's been emptied. Don't overfill your bin or put large things in your bin that prevent you closing the lid.
Here are some ways to help reduce your waste.
Can I put my property or unit number on my bin?
You can mark your rubbish and recycling bins with your property number, if the number is less than 15 cm high and wide.
