Paper is one of the most successfully recovered materials in Australia's waste stream, largely because it's well-understood and sorted effectively kerbside.

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

What happens to bins on public holidays?

It depends on the holiday and the council. When Whitehorse City 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.

Why was my bin in Mont Albert 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. Whitehorse City 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 Mont Albert 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.
  • 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.
