About your council's collection service

Dimboola falls under Hindmarsh Shire for waste and recycling collections.

  • Hindmarsh Shire provides kerbside waste and recycling collection across Wimmera townships including Nhill, Dimboola, Jeparit, and Rainbow.
  • Collections operate fortnightly across all serviced townships.
  • As a small remote shire, some outlying properties may need to use council transfer stations for waste disposal rather than kerbside collection.
  • Your specific collection day depends on your street. Enter your address above to find yours.

Visit Hindmarsh Shire website for the official policy and any service updates.

Recycling rule worth knowing

Never bag your recycling. Put items directly in the bin..

Plastic bags prevent automated sorting lines from processing the contents. The bag and everything inside it typically ends up in landfill regardless of what's inside.

Example: Tins, bottles, cardboard: loose in the yellow bin, not in a bag.

Frequently asked questions

Should I rinse containers before recycling?

A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Dimboola's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections.

Why does my neighbour in Dimboola have a different bin day?

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. Collection days in Dimboola vary by street, so check your exact address. Confirm with your own address rather than copying the neighbours.

How do I get rid of furniture or a mattress in Dimboola?

Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Hindmarsh Shire runs a hard waste service, either booked on demand or on scheduled dates depending on the area; the booking form and accepted items list are on the council website. Charities collect saleable furniture free.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Know your fortnight. Dimboola 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.
  • Caps off, lids on. Small plastic caps come off the bottle and go in the red bin. Metal lids on glass jars can stay put. It is a small rule that trips up a lot of people.
  • Loose, not bagged. Tip recycling in loose. A tied bag cannot be opened on the sorting line, so the whole lot gets treated as rubbish. The bag defeats the entire point.
