Frequently asked questions
Why was my bin in Melville 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. City of Melville has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.
How do I get rid of furniture or a mattress in Melville?
Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. City of Melville runs a hard waste service, either booked on demand or on scheduled dates depending on the area; the booking form and accepted items list are on the council website. Charities collect saleable furniture free.
What happens to bins on public holidays?
It depends on the holiday and the council. When City of Melville shifts collections, everything from the holiday onward that week usually moves one day later. An address search during a holiday week shows any adjusted dates the council has published.

Quick tips for bin night
- Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Melville the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
- Face the opening to the street. The lifter arm on City of Melville's trucks grabs from the road side. Lid opening toward the street, half a metre of clear space each side, and the bin gets emptied instead of skipped.
- 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.
