Shared corridors, communal bins, and one very clear collection day.
High-density living comes with a different bin setup. Here's what applies to your building and suburb.
Collingwood falls under Yarra City for waste and recycling collections.
Visit Yarra City website for the official policy and any service updates.
Keep lids closed on your recycling bin on collection day.
An overflowing recycling bin with the lid open can have its contents spilled by wind or rejected by the collection truck's automated arm.
Example: If your bin is full, break down any large cardboard boxes to make room rather than stacking items on top.
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. In Collingwood that mostly means Thursday, though streets near a zone boundary can differ. Confirm with your own address rather than copying the neighbours.
Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Victoria, and Yarra 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.
Grass clippings, leaves, small branches and prunings. If Yarra City runs a FOGO service, food scraps can join them in an approved compostable liner; if the lid says garden organics only, keep food out. When unsure, check the lid sticker or the council website.
The streets around here all have their own bin days. Here are the nearby suburbs worth bookmarking.
