Christmas and New Year cause the longest delays

The period between Christmas and New Year is the most disruptive for collections. Many councils run reduced schedules over the summer break, with some pickups delayed by several days. The official council website is the most reliable source during this stretch.

Tip: Set a reminder for the week before Christmas to check your council's holiday schedule. The window for putting out general waste before the break fills up fast.

Frequently asked questions

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

Can I put the bin out the night before?

Yes, and it is the safer habit. Greater Bendigo City asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Kangaroo Flat can run early. The evening before beats the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.

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 Greater Bendigo City runs use an automated arm, and bins in Kangaroo Flat blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Loose, not bagged. Tip recycling in loose. A tied bag cannot be opened on the sorting line, so the whole lot gets treated as rubbish. The bag defeats the entire point.
  • 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.
  • Check your bin before bin night. Bin night is not the time to discover the bin is still full from last fortnight. A quick check the day before saves a very long fortnight.
