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?

Moorabool 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 Gordon, check what size is standard first, since upgrade policies differ between councils.

Where exactly should the bin go on the kerb?

On the footpath or nature strip close to the kerb, lid opening facing the street, with about half a metre clear on each side. The trucks Moorabool Shire runs use an automated arm, and bins in Gordon blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.

What goes in the green bin?

Grass clippings, leaves, small branches and prunings. If Moorabool Shire 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.

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.
  • Rain is not an excuse. The bin does not care if it is raining. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
  • The lid has to close. An overflowing bin with the lid propped open often gets skipped, or spills down the street. If it will not shut, it will not go.
