These are the bins Latrobe City supplies to Cowwarr households, each on its own cycle, which is why the kerb looks different from week to week.
Green space, green bin. The garden organics collection is more useful here than you might think.
Living near parks and waterways means more yard material. Council has a separate stream for that.
Cowwarr falls under Latrobe City for waste and recycling collections.
Visit Latrobe City website for the official policy and any service updates.
Recycling one tonne of paper saves around 13 trees and thousands of litres of water.
Paper can be recycled five to seven times before the fibres become too short. Keeping it clean and dry in the yellow bin is what makes that possible.
General waste catches up next week, but Latrobe 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, Latrobe City may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.
Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Victoria, and Latrobe 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.
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 Cowwarr that mostly means Tuesday, though streets near a zone boundary can differ. Confirm with your own address rather than copying the neighbours.
The surrounding suburbs each have their own collection days. Here are the closest ones.
