Recycling rule worth knowing

Remove caps and lids from plastic bottles before recycling.

Caps are often a different type of plastic that causes contamination if mixed with the bottle material. Metal screw-top lids on glass jars are the exception and those can stay on.

Example: Milk bottles, shampoo bottles, soft drink bottles: pop the cap off first.

Frequently asked questions

Why was my bin in Deer Park not collected?

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. Brimbank City has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.

What is FOGO and does it apply here?

FOGO means Food Organics and Garden Organics: food scraps composted along with garden waste in the green bin. Whether Brimbank City's green bin accepts food depends on its current rollout; the lid sticker is the quickest check, and the council website confirms it.

What happens to bins on public holidays?

It depends on the holiday and the council. When Brimbank City 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.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Deer Park the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
  • Face the opening to the street. The lifter arm on Brimbank City's trucks grabs from the road side. Lid opening toward the street, half a metre of clear space each side, and the bin gets emptied instead of skipped.
  • Know your fortnight. Deer Park alternates its fortnightly bins, and guessing wrong is the classic move. The neighbours' kerb on bin morning is the traditional answer; an address search is the reliable one.
