Christmas and New Year cause the longest delays

The period between Christmas and New Year is the most disruptive for collections. Many councils run reduced schedules over the summer break, with some pickups delayed by several days. The official council website is the most reliable source during this stretch.

Tip: Set a reminder for the week before Christmas to check your council's holiday schedule. The window for putting out general waste before the break fills up fast.

Frequently asked questions

Why was my bin in Nathalia not collected?

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. Moira Shire has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.

What goes in the yellow recycling bin?

Paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, steel and aluminium cans, and rigid plastic containers like bottles, tubs and trays. Soft plastics, food waste and contaminated packaging do not belong in it anywhere in VIC.

How often is recycling collected in Nathalia?

Moira Shire collects recycling fortnightly. Collection days vary by street, and an address search shows which fortnight you are in right now.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Face the opening to the street. The lifter arm on Moira 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.
  • Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Nathalia means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One calendar 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 Nathalia bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
