Recycling rule worth knowing
Return soft plastics to a collection point rather than the kerb.
Bags, wrappers and films tangle in machinery and cannot be processed in kerbside recycling. Dedicated drop-off programs handle them separately when they are running.
Example: Bread bags, pasta packets and bubble wrap: collect them at home and take them to a participating retailer.
Frequently asked questions
Does Kilmore have a garden organics bin?
Mitchell Shire does not include a standard garden organics bin in Kilmore's kerbside lineup. Green waste is handled through drop off, booked collections or an opt in bin depending on the council; their website has the current options.
Why was my bin in Kilmore not collected?
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. Mitchell Shire has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.
What counts as recycling contamination?
Anything in the yellow bin that does not belong: food soiled packaging, soft plastics, clothing, electrical items. It matters because a contaminated load from Kilmore can send a whole truck to landfill, and Mitchell Shire can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.

Quick tips for bin night
- Face the opening to the street. The lifter arm on Mitchell Shire's trucks grabs from the road side. Lid opening toward the street, half a metre of clear space each side, and the bin gets emptied instead of skipped.
- Summer bins need managing. A Kilmore red bin in January is a different beast. Bag food scraps tight, keep the bin in shade if you can, and get it out every single week even when it is barely half full.
- 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.
