Did you know?

Garden organics diverted from landfill become compost and mulch.

A full, clean green-lid bin is genuinely valuable. The material is processed into soil amendment used on farms, council parks, and revegetation projects.

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

  • 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.
  • Face the opening to the street. The lifter arm on Mitchell Shire's trucks grabs from the road side. Lid opening toward the street, half a metre of clear space each side, and the bin gets emptied instead of skipped.
  • The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Broadford households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
