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.
On the footpath or nature strip close to the kerb, lid opening facing the street, with about half a metre clear on each side. The trucks Latrobe City runs use an automated arm, and bins in Hernes Oak blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.
A clean, dry pizza box is fine in the yellow bin. If the base is soaked with grease, tear off and recycle the clean lid and put the greasy half in general waste. This rule is the same across every VIC council, Latrobe City included.
Paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, steel and aluminium cans, and rigid plastic containers like bottles, tubs and trays. Soft plastics, food waste and contaminated packaging do not belong in it anywhere in VIC.
The surrounding suburbs each have their own collection days. Here are the closest ones.
