What goes where: nappies and wipes

Correct bin: General Waste (red lid).

Disposable nappies and baby wipes are general waste, even the ones labelled biodegradable, which do not break down in a standard kerbside system.

Avoid: Don't flush wipes, even flushable ones. They contribute to blockages in the sewer network.

Frequently asked questions

How often is recycling collected in Myrtleford?

Alpine Shire collects recycling fortnightly. The typical Myrtleford collection day is Friday, and an address search shows which fortnight you are in right now.

Should I rinse containers before recycling?

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

Does Myrtleford have a garden organics bin?

Alpine Shire does not include a standard garden organics bin in Myrtleford's kerbside lineup. Green waste is handled through drop off, booked collections or an opt in bin depending on the council; their website has the current options.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Myrtleford means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One recurring Friday evening reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
  • Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Myrtleford bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
  • Face the opening to the street. The lifter arm on Alpine Shire's trucks grabs from the road side. Lid opening toward the street, half a metre of clear space each side, and the bin gets emptied instead of skipped.
