What goes where: nappies and wipes
Correct bin: General Waste (red lid).

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
- Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night, and in most of Myrtleford that night is Friday. These are two different things and both matter.
- Empty it before you bin it. A half full bottle leaks through the paper and cardboard sharing its bin. Drain liquids first and the whole load stays cleaner.
- 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.
