Bagged recycling is one of the most common reasons a load is rejected.
Sorting machines and staff cannot open every bag, so anything tied up inside is treated as contamination. Tipping recyclables in loose solves the problem entirely.
Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Yarra City runs a hard waste service, either booked on demand or on scheduled dates depending on the area; the booking form and accepted items list are on the council website. Charities collect saleable furniture free.
General waste catches up next week, but Yarra City 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, Yarra City may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.
