Did you know?

Bagged recycling is one of the most common reasons a load is rejected.

Sorting machines and staff cannot open every bag, so anything tied up inside is treated as contamination. Tipping recyclables in loose solves the problem entirely.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get a larger or extra bin?

Gannawarra Shire offers larger or additional bins for eligible households, such as big families or medical needs, usually for a fee. Contact the council's waste team; if you are new to Leitchville, check what size is standard first, since upgrade policies differ between councils.

Do I get money back for drink containers?

Yes. CDS Vic refunds 10 cents per eligible drink container in VIC, at depots, return machines and bag drop points. Containers you redeem are extra money in your pocket; eligible containers you skip still go in the recycling bin.

Where exactly should the bin go on the kerb?

On the footpath or nature strip close to the kerb, lid opening facing the street, with about half a metre clear on each side. The trucks Gannawarra Shire runs use an automated arm, and bins in Leitchville blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Summer bins need managing. A Leitchville 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.
  • Check your bin before bin night. Bin night is not the time to discover the bin is still full from last fortnight. A quick check the day before saves a very long fortnight.
  • Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
