Frequently asked questions

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 Doncaster East can send a whole truck to landfill, and Manningham City can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.

Where exactly should the bin go on the kerb?

On the footpath or nature strip close to the kerb, lid opening facing the street, with about half a metre clear on each side. The trucks Manningham City runs use an automated arm, and bins in Doncaster East blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.

Are the bins different if I rent in Doncaster East?

No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever Manningham City supplies to the address. If bins are missing or broken at a new rental, report it to the council or your property manager; replacement is usually free and does not need the owner.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
  • 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 Manningham City tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
