What goes where: takeaway coffee cups

Correct bin: General Waste (red lid).

The waterproof plastic lining means a standard takeaway cup cannot be recycled kerbside. The lid is sometimes recyclable if it is rigid plastic, but the cup itself is not.

Avoid: Don't assume a paper-looking cup is recyclable. A reusable cup avoids the problem entirely.

Frequently asked questions

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

Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Greater Shepparton 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.

Should I rinse containers before recycling?

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

What happens if I miss bin night in Mooroopna?

General waste catches up next week, but Greater Shepparton City 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, Greater Shepparton City may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Check your bin before bin night. Tuesday evening 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.
  • Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Mooroopna bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
  • Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and Greater Shepparton City's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
