Victorian councils collectively manage over 4 million tonnes of waste annually.
Kerbside collection is a major logistical operation. Each truck covers dozens of streets in a single shift.
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. Upper Hunter Shire has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.
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.
Collection routes are planned street by street, so two nearby addresses can sit on different runs, and near a boundary they can even sit in different councils. Collection days in Muswellbrook vary by street, so check your exact address. Confirm with your own address rather than copying the neighbours.
