Frequently asked questions

Can I put the bin out the night before?

Yes, and it is the safer habit. Central Goldfields Shire asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Maryborough can run early. The evening before beats the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.

Should I rinse containers before recycling?

A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Maryborough's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections.

Why was my bin in Maryborough not collected?

The usual reasons: the lid was not fully closed, the bin was out after the truck passed, contamination was spotted in the recycling, or the truck arm could not reach past a parked car. Central Goldfields Shire has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Maryborough bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
  • 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.
  • Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and Central Goldfields Shire's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
