Glass can be recycled indefinitely without losing quality.

Grass clippings, leaves, small branches and prunings. If Cardinia Shire 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.
Collection routes are planned street by street, so two nearby addresses can sit on different runs, and near a boundary they can even sit in different councils. Collection days in Bunyip vary by street, so check your exact address. Confirm with your own address rather than copying the neighbours.
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. Cardinia Shire has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.
