A delayed week often means a fuller bin
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.
Frequently asked questions
What happens to bins on public holidays?
It depends on the holiday and the council. When Corangamite Shire shifts collections, everything from the holiday onward that week usually moves one day later. An address search during a holiday week shows any adjusted dates the council has published.
What goes in the yellow recycling bin?
Paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, steel and aluminium cans, and rigid plastic containers like bottles, tubs and trays. Soft plastics, food waste and contaminated packaging do not belong in it anywhere in VIC.
What happens if I miss bin night in Camperdown?
General waste catches up next week, but Corangamite Shire 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, Corangamite Shire may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.

Quick tips for bin night
- Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Camperdown means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One calendar reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
- Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Camperdown the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
- Check your bin before bin night. Bin night is not the time to discover the bin is still full from last fortnight. A quick check the day before saves a very long fortnight.
