Frequently asked questions

Can I put the bin out the night before?

Yes, and it is the safer habit. Hepburn Shire asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Creswick can run early. The evening before beats the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.

What happens to bins on public holidays?

It depends on the holiday and the council. When Hepburn 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.

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 Creswick can send a whole truck to landfill, and Hepburn Shire can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push Hepburn Shire collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
  • Rain is not an excuse. The bin does not care if it is raining. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
  • Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Hepburn Shire tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
