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 Murtoa?

Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Yarriambiack Shire 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.

What do I do with old electronics?

Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Victoria, and Yarriambiack Shire lists its e-waste drop off options online, usually the local transfer station plus periodic collection events. Officeworks takes computers, phones and cables in most areas.

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.

Quick tips for bin night

  • 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.
  • Know your fortnight. Murtoa 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.
  • Summer bins need managing. A Murtoa 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.
