The same bottle, recycled, can become new packaging, clothing fibre or carpet within months. Rigid plastic bottles are one of the easiest wins in the yellow bin.
Whitehorse City 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 Box Hill, check what size is standard first, since upgrade policies differ between councils.
General waste catches up next week, but Whitehorse City collects recycling and garden organics fortnightly, so a missed night there can mean a two week wait. If a bin is overflowing as a result, Whitehorse City may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.
Grass clippings, leaves, small branches and prunings. If Whitehorse City runs a FOGO service, food scraps can join them in an approved compostable liner; if the lid says garden organics only, keep food out. When unsure, check the lid sticker or the council website.
