Green space, green bin. The garden organics collection is more useful here than you might think.
Living near parks and waterways means more yard material. Council has a separate stream for that.
Bright falls under Alpine Shire for waste and recycling collections.
Visit Alpine Shire website for the official policy and any service updates.
When collections are pushed back over a holiday period, the gap between pickups grows. General waste and organics can build up faster than usual, especially across the festive season when households produce more of both.
Tip: Squash and flatten where you can, and avoid overfilling. A lid that will not close can mean the truck skips your bin.
A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Bright's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections waiting for the next Tuesday.
FOGO means food scraps composted together with garden waste in a green bin. Bright's standard lineup does not currently include that bin, so food waste goes in general waste for now; councils across VIC are progressively adding organics services.
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.
The neighbouring streets have their own schedules. Here's what's happening nearby.
