Jan Juc falls under Surf Coast Shire for waste and recycling collections.
Visit Surf Coast Shire website for the official policy and any service updates.
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.
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 Jan Juc vary by street, so check your exact address. Confirm with your own address rather than copying the neighbours.
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. Surf Coast Shire has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.
Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Surf Coast 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.
The bay suburbs each run their own collection schedules. Here are the closest ones to check.
