Frequently asked questions
What happens to bins on public holidays?
It depends on the holiday and the council. When Gannawarra 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.
Why does my neighbour in Cohuna have a different bin day?
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 Cohuna vary by street, so check your exact address. Confirm with your own address rather than copying the neighbours.
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.

The surrounding suburbs each have their own collection days. Here are the closest ones.
Quick tips for bin night
- Caps off, lids on. Small plastic caps come off the bottle and go in the red bin. Metal lids on glass jars can stay put. It is a small rule that trips up a lot of people.
- 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.
- 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.
