Recycling rule worth knowing
Remove caps and lids from plastic bottles before recycling.
Caps are often a different type of plastic that causes contamination if mixed with the bottle material. Metal screw-top lids on glass jars are the exception and those can stay on.
Example: Milk bottles, shampoo bottles, soft drink bottles: pop the cap off first.
Frequently asked questions
Why does my neighbour in Koo Wee Rup have a different bin day?
Collection routes are planned street by street, so two nearby addresses can sit on different runs, and near a boundary they can even sit in different councils. In Koo Wee Rup that mostly means Monday, though streets near a zone boundary can differ. Confirm with your own address rather than copying the neighbours.
How often is recycling collected in Koo Wee Rup?
Cardinia Shire collects recycling fortnightly, alternating with the garden organics bin. The typical Koo Wee Rup collection day is Monday, and an address search shows which fortnight you are in right now.
What do I do with old electronics?
Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Victoria, and Cardinia 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.

Quick tips for bin night
- The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Koo Wee Rup households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
- Rain is not an excuse. The bin does not care if it is raining on Monday night. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
- Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Koo Wee Rup bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
