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

Jeparit falls under Hindmarsh Shire for waste and recycling collections.

  • Hindmarsh Shire provides kerbside waste and recycling collection across Wimmera townships including Nhill, Dimboola, Jeparit, and Rainbow.
  • Collections operate fortnightly across all serviced townships.
  • As a small remote shire, some outlying properties may need to use council transfer stations for waste disposal rather than kerbside collection.
  • Your specific collection day depends on your street. Enter your address above to find yours.

Did you know?

Over 1 billion coffee cups are used in Australia each year, and very few are recyclable.

The plastic lining makes standard takeaway cups non-recyclable in kerbside bins. Compostable alternatives are growing, but need commercial composting facilities to process properly.

Frequently asked questions

What happens to bins on public holidays?

It depends on the holiday and the council. When Hindmarsh Shire 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.

Do I get money back for drink containers?

Yes. CDS Vic refunds 10 cents per eligible drink container in VIC, at depots, return machines and bag drop points. Containers you redeem are extra money in your pocket; eligible containers you skip still go in the recycling bin.

Where exactly should the bin go on the kerb?

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 Hindmarsh Shire runs use an automated arm, and bins in Jeparit blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push Hindmarsh Shire collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
  • 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.
  • Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Jeparit the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
