Did you know?

The average Victorian household generates around 500 kg of waste per year.

About half of that ends up in landfill. The rest is recovered through recycling, organics, and other diversion programs.

Frequently asked questions

What goes in the yellow recycling bin?

Paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, steel and aluminium cans, and rigid plastic containers like bottles, tubs and trays. Soft plastics, food waste and contaminated packaging do not belong in it anywhere in VIC.

Do I get money back for drink containers?

Yes. CDS Vic refunds 10 cents per eligible drink container in VIC, at depots, return machines and bag drop points. Containers you redeem are extra money in your pocket; eligible containers you skip still go in the recycling bin.

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, Central Goldfields Shire included.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Dunolly bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
  • Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Dunolly means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One calendar reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
  • Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Central Goldfields Shire tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
