Green space, green bin. The garden organics collection is more useful here than you might think.

Living near parks and waterways means more yard material. Council has a separate stream for that.

Did you know?

Australia recycles around 84% of paper and cardboard.

Paper is one of the most successfully recovered materials in Australia's waste stream, largely because it's well-understood and sorted effectively kerbside.

Frequently asked questions

What do I do with old electronics?

Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Victoria, and Southern Grampians Shire lists its e-waste drop off options online, usually the local transfer station plus periodic collection events. Officeworks takes computers, phones and cables in most areas.

Can I recycle pizza boxes?

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, Southern Grampians Shire included.

What goes in the green bin?

Grass clippings, leaves, small branches and prunings. If Southern Grampians Shire runs a FOGO service, food scraps can join them in an approved compostable liner; if the lid says garden organics only, keep food out. When unsure, check the lid sticker or the council website.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Dunkeld the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
  • Empty it before you bin it. A half full bottle leaks through the paper and cardboard sharing its bin. Drain liquids first and the whole load stays cleaner.
  • Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
