Visit Whittlesea City website for the official policy and any service updates.

Recycling rule worth knowing

Return soft plastics to a collection point rather than the kerb.

Bags, wrappers and films tangle in machinery and cannot be processed in kerbside recycling. Dedicated drop-off programs handle them separately when they are running.

Example: Bread bags, pasta packets and bubble wrap: collect them at home and take them to a participating retailer.

Frequently asked questions

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 Whittlesea City runs use an automated arm, and bins in Doreen blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.

Are the bins different if I rent in Doreen?

No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever Whittlesea 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.

What happens if I miss bin night in Doreen?

General waste catches up next week, but Whittlesea City collects recycling and garden organics fortnightly, so a missed night there can mean a two week wait. If a bin is overflowing as a result, Whittlesea City may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Doreen bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
  • 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.
  • Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Doreen the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
