Keep lids closed on your recycling bin on collection day.
An overflowing recycling bin with the lid open can have its contents spilled by wind or rejected by the collection truck's automated arm.
Example: If your bin is full, break down any large cardboard boxes to make room rather than stacking items on top.
A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Maffra's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections.
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 Wellington Shire runs use an automated arm, and bins in Maffra blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.
Yes, and it is the safer habit. Wellington Shire asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Maffra can run early. The evening before beats the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.
