Frequently asked questions
Can broken glass go in the recycling bin?
No. Unbroken bottles and jars belong in the yellow bin, but broken glass is a hazard for sorting staff. Wrap it in newspaper, seal it in a bag and put it in the general waste bin.
How do I get rid of furniture or a mattress in Echuca?
Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Campaspe Shire runs a hard waste service, either booked on demand or on scheduled dates depending on the area; the booking form and accepted items list are on the council website. Charities collect saleable furniture free.
Are the bins different if I rent in Echuca?
No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever Campaspe Shire 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
- Know your fortnight. Echuca alternates its fortnightly bins, and guessing wrong is the classic move. The neighbours' kerb on bin morning is the traditional answer; an address search is the reliable one.
- Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push Campaspe Shire collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
- Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Campaspe Shire tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
