Australia Day on 26 January and Anzac Day on 25 April are public holidays nationwide. When either lands on a weekday, councils that collect that day often delay the rest of the week by one day.
Tip: If your bin day is mid-week, glance at the council notice the week these dates fall on a weekday.
The usual reasons: the lid was not fully closed, the bin was out after the truck passed, contamination was spotted in the recycling, or the truck arm could not reach past a parked car. Greater Dandenong City has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.
A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Dandenong's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections.
A clean, dry pizza box is fine in the yellow bin. If the base is soaked with grease, tear off and recycle the clean lid and put the greasy half in general waste. This rule is the same across every VIC council, Greater Dandenong City included.
