Did you know?

Recycling one tonne of paper saves around 13 trees and thousands of litres of water.

Paper can be recycled five to seven times before the fibres become too short. Keeping it clean and dry in the yellow bin is what makes that possible.

Frequently asked questions

Where exactly should the bin go on the kerb?

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 Whittlesea City runs use an automated arm, and bins in Mill Park blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.

Should I rinse containers before recycling?

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

How do I get rid of furniture or a mattress in Mill Park?

Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Whittlesea City 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.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Mill Park bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
  • Face the opening to the street. The lifter arm on Whittlesea City'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.
  • Know your fortnight. Mill Park alternates its fortnightly bins, and guessing wrong is the classic move. The neighbours' kerb on bin morning is the traditional answer; an address search is the reliable one.
