Recycling rule worth knowing

Empty and dry liquid containers before they go in.

Leftover liquid soaks into paper and cardboard in the same bin, ruining it for recycling and making the load heavier and harder to process.

Example: Tip out the last of the milk or juice and give the bottle a quick drain before it goes in the yellow bin.

Frequently asked questions

Can I put the bin out the night before?

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

Why does my neighbour in Flemington have a different bin day?

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. Collection days in Flemington vary by street, so check your exact address. Confirm with your own address rather than copying the neighbours.

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.

Quick tips for bin night

  • The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Flemington households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
  • 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.
  • Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Maribyrnong City tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
