Remove caps and lids from plastic bottles before recycling.
Caps are often a different type of plastic that causes contamination if mixed with the bottle material. Metal screw-top lids on glass jars are the exception and those can stay on.
Example: Milk bottles, shampoo bottles, soft drink bottles: pop the cap off first.
Grass clippings, leaves, small branches and prunings. If Moonee Valley City runs a FOGO service, food scraps can join them in an approved compostable liner; if the lid says garden organics only, keep food out. When unsure, check the lid sticker or the council website.
Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Moonee Valley City runs a hard waste service, either booked on demand or on scheduled dates depending on the area; the booking form and accepted items list are on the council website. Charities collect saleable furniture free.
The usual reasons: the lid was not fully closed, the bin was out after the truck passed, contamination was spotted in the recycling, or the truck arm could not reach past a parked car. Moonee Valley City has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.
