Some things don't change regardless of how old the neighbourhood is.
Balwyn falls under Boroondara City for waste and recycling collections.
Visit Boroondara City website for the official policy and any service updates.
Empty and dry liquid containers before they go in.
Leftover liquid soaks into paper and cardboard in the same bin, ruining it for recycling and making the load heavier and harder to process.
Example: Tip out the last of the milk or juice and give the bottle a quick drain before it goes in the yellow bin.
Boroondara City collects recycling fortnightly, alternating with the garden organics bin. Collection days vary by street, and an address search shows which fortnight you are in right now.
Anything in the yellow bin that does not belong: food soiled packaging, soft plastics, clothing, electrical items. It matters because a contaminated load from Balwyn can send a whole truck to landfill, and Boroondara City can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.
Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Victoria, and Boroondara City 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.
The streets around here all have their own bin days. Here are the nearby suburbs worth bookmarking.
