Correct bin: General Waste (red lid).

Avoid: Don't flush wipes, even flushable ones. They contribute to blockages in the sewer network.
Yes, and it is the safer habit. Cardinia Shire asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Menzies Creek can run early. The evening before beats the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.
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 Cardinia Shire runs use an automated arm, and bins in Menzies Creek blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.
