Did you know?

Compost made from kerbside organics is used on farms, parks and roadsides.

When your green bin material is processed, it becomes a soil conditioner that returns nutrients to the ground and reduces the need for synthetic fertiliser.

Frequently asked questions

Should I rinse containers before recycling?

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

Where exactly should the bin go on the kerb?

On the footpath or nature strip close to the kerb, lid opening facing the street, with about half a metre clear on each side. The trucks Horsham Rural City runs use an automated arm, and bins in Natimuk blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.

Why was my bin in Natimuk 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. Horsham Rural City has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Summer bins need managing. A Natimuk 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.
  • Loose, not bagged. Tip recycling in loose. A tied bag cannot be opened on the sorting line, so the whole lot gets treated as rubbish. The bag defeats the entire point.
  • Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Natimuk bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
