Green space, green bin. The garden organics collection is more useful here than you might think.

Living near parks and waterways means more yard material. Council has a separate stream for that.

About your council's collection service

Launching Place falls under Yarra Ranges Shire for waste and recycling collections.

  • Yarra Ranges Shire Council covers a large area from the outer-east suburbs to the hills and ranges.
  • Collection services vary by area within the shire. Urban parts of Ringwood East and Kilsyth differ from rural hill properties.
  • The shire provides a three-bin service in urban zones. Residents in rural areas should check the council website for their specific service.
  • Your specific collection day depends on your street. Enter your address above to find yours.

Visit Yarra Ranges Shire website for the official policy and any service updates.

Recycling rule worth knowing

Never bag your recycling. Put items directly in the bin..

Plastic bags prevent automated sorting lines from processing the contents. The bag and everything inside it typically ends up in landfill regardless of what's inside.

Example: Tins, bottles, cardboard: loose in the yellow bin, not in a bag.

Frequently asked questions

What goes in the green bin?

Grass clippings, leaves, small branches and prunings. If Yarra Ranges Shire runs a FOGO service, food scraps can join them in an approved compostable liner; if the lid says garden organics only, keep food out. When unsure, check the lid sticker or the council website.

What happens to bins on public holidays?

It depends on the holiday and the council. When Yarra Ranges Shire shifts collections, everything from the holiday onward that week usually moves one day later. An address search during a holiday week shows any adjusted dates the council has published.

What do I do with old electronics?

Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Victoria, and Yarra Ranges 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 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.
  • Caps off, lids on. Small plastic caps come off the bottle and go in the red bin. Metal lids on glass jars can stay put. It is a small rule that trips up a lot of people.
  • Know your fortnight. Launching Place alternates its fortnightly bins, and guessing wrong is the classic move. The neighbours' kerb on bin morning is the traditional answer; an address search is the reliable one.
