Green space, green bin. The garden organics collection is more useful here than you might think.

Living near parks and waterways means more yard material. Council has a separate stream for that.

Recycling rule worth knowing

Keep lids closed on your recycling bin on collection day.

An overflowing recycling bin with the lid open can have its contents spilled by wind or rejected by the collection truck's automated arm.

Example: If your bin is full, break down any large cardboard boxes to make room rather than stacking items on top.

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

How do I get rid of furniture or a mattress in Greendale?

Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Moorabool Shire runs a hard waste service, either booked on demand or on scheduled dates depending on the area; the booking form and accepted items list are on the council website. Charities collect saleable furniture free.

Can I put the bin out the night before?

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

Quick tips for bin night

  • Summer bins need managing. A Greendale 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.
  • Face the opening to the street. The lifter arm on Moorabool Shire'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.
  • Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Greendale bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
