What goes where: nappies and wipes

Correct bin: General Waste (red lid).

Disposable nappies and baby wipes are general waste, even the ones labelled biodegradable, which do not break down in a standard kerbside system.

Avoid: Don't flush wipes, even flushable ones. They contribute to blockages in the sewer network.

Frequently asked questions

Why does my neighbour in Haven 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 Haven vary by street, so check your exact address. Confirm with your own address rather than copying the neighbours.

What happens to bins on public holidays?

It depends on the holiday and the council. When Horsham Rural City shifts collections, everything from the holiday onward that week usually moves one day later. An address search during a holiday week shows any adjusted dates the council has published.

Why was my bin in Haven not collected?

The usual reasons: the lid was not fully closed, the bin was out after the truck passed, contamination was spotted in the recycling, or the truck arm could not reach past a parked car. Horsham Rural City has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Haven means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One calendar reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
  • 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.
  • Empty it before you bin it. A half full bottle leaks through the paper and cardboard sharing its bin. Drain liquids first and the whole load stays cleaner.
