About your council's collection service

Goroke falls under West Wimmera Shire for waste and recycling collections.

  • West Wimmera Shire provides kerbside waste and recycling collection across far west Victorian townships including Edenhope, Kaniva, and Harrow.
  • Collections operate fortnightly across all serviced townships.
  • As one of Victoria's most remote shires, some outlying properties rely on council transfer stations rather than kerbside collection.
  • Your specific collection day depends on your street. Enter your address above to find yours.

Visit West Wimmera Shire website for the official policy and any service updates.

Recycling rule worth knowing

Remove caps and lids from plastic bottles before recycling.

Caps are often a different type of plastic that causes contamination if mixed with the bottle material. Metal screw-top lids on glass jars are the exception and those can stay on.

Example: Milk bottles, shampoo bottles, soft drink bottles: pop the cap off first.

Frequently asked questions

Why was my bin not collected?

Common reasons include: the bin lid wasn't fully closed, the bin wasn't at the kerb before the truck passed, there was contamination in the recycling bin, or the bin was blocking the truck's mechanical arm. Your council's website usually has a missed collection form.

Why does my neighbour have a different bin day?

Collection routes are planned street by street, so two nearby addresses can sit on different runs or even different councils near a boundary. Always confirm by entering your own address rather than copying a neighbour's schedule.

What is FOGO and do I have it?

FOGO stands for Food Organics and Garden Organics. It is a kerbside service where food scraps go in the same bin as garden waste and are composted. Not every council offers it yet. If your green bin lid says garden organics only, keep food out of it.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid won't close. Lids need to close for collection. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
  • The green bin loves your garden. The green bin isn't a mulching service, but it's as close as most households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
  • Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any kerbside bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a collection point instead. Future you, and the truck driver, will thank you.
