Visit Monash City website for the official policy and any service updates.

Australia Day and Anzac Day can move your collection

Australia Day on 26 January and Anzac Day on 25 April are public holidays nationwide. When either lands on a weekday, councils that collect that day often delay the rest of the week by one day.

Tip: If your bin day is mid-week, glance at the council notice the week these dates fall on a weekday.

Frequently asked questions

What goes in the green bin?

Grass clippings, leaves, small branches and prunings. If Monash 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.

What counts as recycling contamination?

Anything in the yellow bin that does not belong: food soiled packaging, soft plastics, clothing, electrical items. It matters because a contaminated load from Glen Waverley can send a whole truck to landfill, and Monash City can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.

What goes in the yellow recycling bin?

Paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, steel and aluminium cans, and rigid plastic containers like bottles, tubs and trays. Soft plastics, food waste and contaminated packaging do not belong in it anywhere in VIC.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Face the opening to the street. The lifter arm on Monash City'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.
  • 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 Monash City's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
