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

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