About your council's collection service

  • Your specific collection day depends on your street. Enter your address above to find yours.

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

Recycling rule worth knowing

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.

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.

What counts as recycling contamination?

Anything in the yellow bin that does not belong: food soiled packaging, soft plastics, clothing, electrical items. It matters because a contaminated load from Mansfield can send a whole truck to landfill, and Mansfield Shire can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.

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.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and Mansfield Shire's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
  • 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.
  • Rain is not an excuse. The bin does not care if it is raining. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
