Old streetscapes, modern bin schedule. The two coexist just fine.

Whatever year your house was built, the kerbside collection is very much a current-era thing.

Australia Day and Anzac Day can move your collection

Australia Day on 26 January and Anzac Day on 25 April are public holidays nationwide. When either lands on a weekday, councils that collect that day often delay the rest of the week by one day.

Tip: If your bin day is mid-week, glance at the council notice the week these dates fall on a weekday.

Frequently asked questions

Are the bins different if I rent in Avoca?

No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever Pyrenees 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.

Should I rinse containers before recycling?

A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Avoca's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections.

Can I get a larger or extra bin?

Pyrenees Shire offers larger or additional bins for eligible households, such as big families or medical needs, usually for a fee. Contact the council's waste team; if you are new to Avoca, check what size is standard first, since upgrade policies differ between councils.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Know your fortnight. Avoca alternates its fortnightly bins, and guessing wrong is the classic move. The neighbours' kerb on bin morning is the traditional answer; an address search is the reliable one.
  • Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push Pyrenees Shire collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
  • Loose, not bagged. Tip recycling in loose. A tied bag cannot be opened on the sorting line, so the whole lot gets treated as rubbish. The bag defeats the entire point.
