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 get a larger or extra bin?

Glen Eira City 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 Glen Huntly, check what size is standard first, since upgrade policies differ between councils.

What happens if I miss bin night in Glen Huntly?

General waste catches up next week, but Glen Eira 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, Glen Eira City may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.

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.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
  • Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and Glen Eira City's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
  • Summer bins need managing. A Glen Huntly red bin in January is a different beast. Bag food scraps tight, keep the bin in shade if you can, and get it out every single week even when it is barely half full.
