What goes where: batteries

Correct bin: Neither bin. Drop off at Bunnings or a council facility..

Batteries can cause fires in both collection trucks and at sorting facilities. Bunnings stores, some councils, and battery retailers accept used batteries for safe recycling.

Avoid: Don't put batteries in any kerbside bin, not even the general waste bin.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if I miss bin night in Kinglake?

General waste catches up next week, but Murrindindi Shire collects recycling fortnightly, so a missed night there can mean a two week wait. If a bin is overflowing as a result, Murrindindi Shire may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.

What goes in the yellow recycling bin?

Paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, steel and aluminium cans, and rigid plastic containers like bottles, tubs and trays. Soft plastics, food waste and contaminated packaging do not belong in it anywhere in VIC.

Can I recycle pizza boxes?

A clean, dry pizza box is fine in the yellow bin. If the base is soaked with grease, tear off and recycle the clean lid and put the greasy half in general waste. This rule is the same across every VIC council, Murrindindi Shire included.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Murrindindi Shire tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
  • 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.
  • Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Kinglake bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
