  • Your specific collection day depends on your street. Enter your address above to find yours.

Visit Glenelg Shire website for the official policy and any service updates.

Recycling rule worth knowing

Empty and dry liquid containers before they go in.

Leftover liquid soaks into paper and cardboard in the same bin, ruining it for recycling and making the load heavier and harder to process.

Example: Tip out the last of the milk or juice and give the bottle a quick drain before it goes in the yellow bin.

Frequently asked questions

Where exactly should the bin go on the kerb?

On the footpath or nature strip close to the kerb, lid opening facing the street, with about half a metre clear on each side. The trucks Glenelg Shire runs use an automated arm, and bins in Casterton blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.

What is FOGO and does it apply here?

FOGO means food scraps composted together with garden waste in a green bin. Casterton'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.

What happens if I miss bin night in Casterton?

General waste catches up next week, but Glenelg Shire collects recycling fortnightly, so a missed night there can mean a two week wait. If a bin is overflowing as a result, Glenelg Shire may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.

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.
  • Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and Glenelg Shire's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
  • Summer bins need managing. A Casterton red bin in January is a different beast. Bag food scraps tight, keep the bin in shade if you can, and get it out every single week even when it is barely half full.
