About your council's collection service

Cheltenham falls under Kingston City for waste and recycling collections.

  • Kingston City Council provides a three-bin kerbside service covering waste, recycling, and garden organics.
  • Recycling and garden organics alternate on a fortnightly cycle, so only one of the two goes out each week.
  • Kingston operates several recycling drop-off points for materials not accepted kerbside, including polystyrene and e-waste.
  • Your specific collection day depends on your street. Enter your address above to find yours.

Visit Kingston City website for the official policy and any service updates.

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

What happens to bins on public holidays?

It depends on the holiday and the council. When Kingston City 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 do I do with old electronics?

Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Victoria, and Kingston City lists its e-waste drop off options online, usually the local transfer station plus periodic collection events. Officeworks takes computers, phones and cables in most areas.

Why was my bin in Cheltenham 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. Kingston City has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Cheltenham bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
  • Rain is not an excuse. The bin does not care if it is raining. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
  • Know your fortnight. Cheltenham alternates its fortnightly bins, and guessing wrong is the classic move. The neighbours' kerb on bin morning is the traditional answer; an address search is the reliable one.
