The heritage homes get character. The bins still go out the same as everyone else's.

Some things don't change regardless of how old the neighbourhood is.

About your council's collection service

Harrow 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.

Did you know?

Around 130 kilograms of food waste is thrown out per person in Australia each year.

Most of it could be diverted through a FOGO service or home composting. Food in landfill breaks down without oxygen and releases methane, a potent greenhouse gas.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if I miss bin night in Harrow?

General waste catches up next week, but West Wimmera Shire collects recycling fortnightly, so a missed night there can mean a two week wait. If a bin is overflowing as a result, West Wimmera Shire may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.

Why does my neighbour in Harrow have a different bin day?

Collection routes are planned street by street, so two nearby addresses can sit on different runs, and near a boundary they can even sit in different councils. Collection days in Harrow vary by street, so check your exact address. Confirm with your own address rather than copying the neighbours.

Are the bins different if I rent in Harrow?

No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever West Wimmera Shire supplies to the address. If bins are missing or broken at a new rental, report it to the council or your property manager; replacement is usually free and does not need the owner.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Caps off, lids on. Small plastic caps come off the bottle and go in the red bin. Metal lids on glass jars can stay put. It is a small rule that trips up a lot of people.
  • Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Harrow bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
  • Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and West Wimmera Shire's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
