What goes where: nappies and wipes
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.
Frequently asked questions
Can broken glass go in the recycling bin?
No. Unbroken bottles and jars belong in the yellow bin, but broken glass is a hazard for sorting staff. Wrap it in newspaper, seal it in a bag and put it in the general waste bin.
What do I do with old electronics?
Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Victoria, and Gannawarra Shire lists its e-waste drop off options online, usually the local transfer station plus periodic collection events. Officeworks takes computers, phones and cables in most areas.
What happens if I miss bin night in Kerang?
General waste catches up next week, but Gannawarra Shire 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, Gannawarra Shire may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.

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.
- Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Kerang the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
- Empty it before you bin it. A half full bottle leaks through the paper and cardboard sharing its bin. Drain liquids first and the whole load stays cleaner.
