The period between Christmas and New Year is the most disruptive for collections. Many councils run reduced schedules over the summer break, with some pickups delayed by several days. The official council website is the most reliable source during this stretch.
Tip: Set a reminder for the week before Christmas to check your council's holiday schedule. The window for putting out general waste before the break fills up fast.
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. Murray River has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.
No. Unbroken bottles and jars belong in the yellow bin, but broken glass is a hazard for sorting staff. Wrap it in newspaper, seal it in a bag and put it in the general waste bin.
A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Barham's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections.
The bay suburbs each run their own collection schedules. Here are the closest ones to check.
