The heritage homes get character. The bins still go out the same as everyone else's.

Some things don't change regardless of how old the neighbourhood is.

About your council's collection service

Avenel falls under Strathbogie Shire for waste and recycling collections.

  • Strathbogie Shire Council provides kerbside waste and recycling collection across rural townships including Euroa, Nagambie, and Violet Town.
  • As a small rural shire, collections operate on a fortnightly cycle. Some rural properties outside township boundaries use shire transfer stations instead.
  • The shire maintains several transfer stations for residents who prefer to self-haul waste, recycling, and green waste.
  • Your specific collection day depends on your street. Enter your address above to find yours.

Visit Strathbogie Shire website for the official policy and any service updates.

Did you know?

Lithium batteries cause hundreds of fires in waste trucks and facilities every year.

A button battery or vape tossed in a kerbside bin can ignite under pressure. Batteries belong at a dedicated drop-off, never in any of your three bins.

Frequently asked questions

Are the bins different if I rent in Avenel?

No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever Strathbogie Shire supplies to the address. If bins are missing or broken at a new rental, report it to the council or your property manager; replacement is usually free and does not need the owner.

What do I do with old electronics?

Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Victoria, and Strathbogie Shire lists its e-waste drop off options online, usually the local transfer station plus periodic collection events. Officeworks takes computers, phones and cables in most areas.

What is FOGO and does it apply here?

FOGO means food scraps composted together with garden waste in a green bin. Avenel's standard lineup does not currently include that bin, so food waste goes in general waste for now; councils across VIC are progressively adding organics services.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push Strathbogie Shire collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
  • Empty it before you bin it. A half full bottle leaks through the paper and cardboard sharing its bin. Drain liquids first and the whole load stays cleaner.
  • Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Avenel bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
