The standard Hazelwood North lineup from Latrobe City is listed below. Because the cycles differ, no two weeks put exactly the same bins on the kerb.
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.
Hazelwood North falls under Latrobe City for waste and recycling collections.
Visit Latrobe City website for the official policy and any service updates.
Never bag your recycling. Put items directly in the bin..
Plastic bags prevent automated sorting lines from processing the contents. The bag and everything inside it typically ends up in landfill regardless of what's inside.
Example: Tins, bottles, cardboard: loose in the yellow bin, not in a bag.
FOGO means Food Organics and Garden Organics: food scraps composted along with garden waste in the green bin. Whether Latrobe City's green bin accepts food depends on its current rollout; the lid sticker is the quickest check, and the council website confirms it.
General waste catches up next week, but Latrobe City collects recycling and garden organics fortnightly, so a missed night there can mean a two week wait. If a bin is overflowing as a result, Latrobe City may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.
A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Hazelwood North's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections waiting for the next Thursday.
The surrounding suburbs each have their own collection days. Here are the closest ones.
