Frequently asked questions
Can I recycle pizza boxes?
A clean, dry pizza box is fine in the yellow bin. If the base is soaked with grease, tear off and recycle the clean lid and put the greasy half in general waste. This rule is the same across every VIC council, Mitchell Shire included.
Why was my bin in Broadford not collected?
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. Mitchell Shire has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.
What is FOGO and does it apply here?
FOGO means food scraps composted together with garden waste in a green bin. Broadford'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.

Quick tips for bin night
- Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Broadford bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
- 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.
- Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
