A delayed week often means a fuller bin

When collections are pushed back over a holiday period, the gap between pickups grows. General waste and organics can build up faster than usual, especially across the festive season when households produce more of both.

Tip: Squash and flatten where you can, and avoid overfilling. A lid that will not close can mean the truck skips your bin.

Frequently asked questions

Should I rinse containers before recycling?

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

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 Mathoura can send a whole truck to landfill, and Murray River can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.

What happens if I miss bin night in Mathoura?

General waste catches up next week, but Murray River collects recycling and garden organics fortnightly, so a missed night there can mean a two week wait. If a bin is overflowing as a result, Murray River may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.

Quick tips for bin night

  • 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.
  • 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.
