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.
Yes, and it is the safer habit. Greater Bendigo City asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Eaglehawk can run early. The evening before beats the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.
General waste catches up next week, but Greater Bendigo 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, Greater Bendigo City may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.
