Did you know?

It takes a plastic bottle centuries to break down in landfill.

The same bottle, recycled, can become new packaging, clothing fibre or carpet within months. Rigid plastic bottles are one of the easiest wins in the yellow bin.

Frequently asked questions

Do I get money back for drink containers?

Yes. CDS Vic refunds 10 cents per eligible drink container in VIC, at depots, return machines and bag drop points. Containers you redeem are extra money in your pocket; eligible containers you skip still go in the recycling bin.

What happens if I miss bin night in Moyston?

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

Can broken glass go in the recycling bin?

No. Unbroken bottles and jars belong in the yellow bin, but broken glass is a hazard for sorting staff. Wrap it in newspaper, seal it in a bag and put it in the general waste bin.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Moyston the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
  • Loose, not bagged. Tip recycling in loose. A tied bag cannot be opened on the sorting line, so the whole lot gets treated as rubbish. The bag defeats the entire point.
  • Summer bins need managing. A Moyston red bin in January is a different beast. Bag food scraps tight, keep the bin in shade if you can, and get it out every single week even when it is barely half full.
