What goes where: polystyrene foam

Correct bin: General Waste (red lid).

Standard kerbside recycling doesn't accept polystyrene, the white foam used in appliance packaging. Break it up to fit in the red bin. Some specialist facilities accept it separately.

Avoid: Don't put polystyrene in the yellow recycling bin. It clogs machinery and can't be sorted.

Frequently asked questions

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.

How do I get rid of furniture or a mattress in Kyneton?

Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Macedon Ranges Shire runs a hard waste service, either booked on demand or on scheduled dates depending on the area; the booking form and accepted items list are on the council website. Charities collect saleable furniture free.

Are the bins different if I rent in Kyneton?

No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever Macedon Ranges Shire supplies to the address. If bins are missing or broken at a new rental, report it to the council or your property manager; replacement is usually free and does not need the owner.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push Macedon Ranges Shire collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
  • Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
  • Empty it before you bin it. A half full bottle leaks through the paper and cardboard sharing its bin. Drain liquids first and the whole load stays cleaner.
