Did you know?

Recycling one tonne of paper saves around 13 trees and thousands of litres of water.

Paper can be recycled five to seven times before the fibres become too short. Keeping it clean and dry in the yellow bin is what makes that possible.

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 Murrindindi 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 put the bin out the night before?

Yes, and it is the safer habit. Murrindindi Shire asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Eildon can run early. The evening before beats the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.

Can I get a larger or extra bin?

Murrindindi Shire offers larger or additional bins for eligible households, such as big families or medical needs, usually for a fee. Contact the council's waste team; if you are new to Eildon, check what size is standard first, since upgrade policies differ between councils.

Quick tips for bin night

  • 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.
  • Face the opening to the street. The lifter arm on Murrindindi Shire's trucks grabs from the road side. Lid opening toward the street, half a metre of clear space each side, and the bin gets emptied instead of skipped.
  • Loose, not bagged. Tip recycling in loose. A tied bag cannot be opened on the sorting line, so the whole lot gets treated as rubbish. The bag defeats the entire point.
