Did you know?

Compost made from kerbside organics is used on farms, parks and roadsides.

When your green bin material is processed, it becomes a soil conditioner that returns nutrients to the ground and reduces the need for synthetic fertiliser.

Frequently asked questions

How often is recycling collected in Craigieburn?

Hume City collects recycling fortnightly, alternating with the garden organics bin. Collection days vary by street, and an address search shows which fortnight you are in right now.

Do I get money back for drink containers?

Yes. CDS Vic refunds 10 cents per eligible drink container in VIC, at depots, return machines and bag drop points. Containers you redeem are extra money in your pocket; eligible containers you skip still go in the recycling bin.

What counts as recycling contamination?

Anything in the yellow bin that does not belong: food soiled packaging, soft plastics, clothing, electrical items. It matters because a contaminated load from Craigieburn can send a whole truck to landfill, and Hume City can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.

Quick tips for bin night

  • The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Craigieburn households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
  • Empty it before you bin it. A half full bottle leaks through the paper and cardboard sharing its bin. Drain liquids first and the whole load stays cleaner.
  • Summer bins need managing. A Craigieburn red bin in January is a different beast. Bag food scraps tight, keep the bin in shade if you can, and get it out every single week even when it is barely half full.
