Did you know?

The average Victorian household generates around 500 kg of waste per year.

About half of that ends up in landfill. The rest is recovered through recycling, organics, and other diversion programs.

Frequently asked questions

Where exactly should the bin go on the kerb?

On the footpath or nature strip close to the kerb, lid opening facing the street, with about half a metre clear on each side. The trucks Moorabool Shire runs use an automated arm, and bins in Bacchus Marsh blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.

What do I do with old electronics?

Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Victoria, and Moorabool 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.

How do I get rid of furniture or a mattress in Bacchus Marsh?

Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Moorabool Shire 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.

Quick tips for bin night

  • The lid has to close. An overflowing bin with the lid propped open often gets skipped, or spills down the street. If it will not shut, it will not go.
  • 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.
  • Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Moorabool Shire tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
