Victorian councils collectively manage over 4 million tonnes of waste annually.
Kerbside collection is a major logistical operation. Each truck covers dozens of streets in a single shift.
Contamination means putting the wrong items in the recycling bin: food-soiled packaging, soft plastics, clothing, electrical items, or anything not specifically accepted kerbside. High contamination can cause an entire truck load to be sent to landfill.
A quick rinse is enough. Containers do not need to be spotless, just empty and free of large food residue. A few seconds under the tap, or a swish with leftover dishwater, keeps the load clean without wasting water.
Most councils say bins should be at the kerb by 6 AM on collection day but can go out the evening before. Keep them off the road and clear of driveways, parked cars, and other bins.
The streets around here all have their own bin days. Here are the nearby suburbs worth bookmarking.
