Visit Yarra City website for the official policy and any service updates.
Keep lids closed on your recycling bin on collection day.
An overflowing recycling bin with the lid open can have its contents spilled by wind or rejected by the collection truck's automated arm.
Example: If your bin is full, break down any large cardboard boxes to make room rather than stacking items on top.
Grass clippings, leaves, small branches and prunings. If Yarra City 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.
It depends on the holiday and the council. When Yarra City shifts collections, everything from the holiday onward that week usually moves one day later, so a Wednesday run can become the following day. An address search during a holiday week shows any adjusted dates the council has published.
Collection routes are planned street by street, so two nearby addresses can sit on different runs, and near a boundary they can even sit in different councils. In Fitzroy North that mostly means Wednesday, though streets near a zone boundary can differ. Confirm with your own address rather than copying the neighbours.
