Locals know it for the Yarra Bend Park and the historic Kew precinct.
Below is the Kew rundown: which bins you have, the usual collection rhythm and the local rules worth knowing. For your street's exact dates, search your address from the home page.
These are the bins Boroondara City supplies to Kew households, each on its own cycle, which is why the kerb looks different from week to week.
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.
Kew falls under Boroondara City for waste and recycling collections.
Visit Boroondara City website for the official policy and any service updates.
Glass can be recycled indefinitely without losing quality.
Unlike plastics, glass doesn't degrade through the recycling process. A wine bottle recycled today could become a new bottle within 30 days.
It depends on the holiday and the council. When Boroondara City 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.
A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Kew's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections.
General waste catches up next week, but Boroondara City 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, Boroondara City may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.
