What goes where: batteries
Correct bin: Neither bin. Drop off at Bunnings or a council facility..
Batteries can cause fires in both collection trucks and at sorting facilities. Bunnings stores, some councils, and battery retailers accept used batteries for safe recycling.
Avoid: Don't put batteries in any kerbside bin, not even the general waste bin.
Frequently asked questions
Why was my bin in New Gisborne 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. Macedon Ranges Shire has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.
Are the bins different if I rent in New Gisborne?
No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever Macedon Ranges Shire supplies to the address. If bins are missing or broken at a new rental, report it to the council or your property manager; replacement is usually free and does not need the owner.
What happens to bins on public holidays?
It depends on the holiday and the council. When Macedon Ranges Shire shifts collections, everything from the holiday onward that week usually moves one day later. An address search during a holiday week shows any adjusted dates the council has published.

Quick tips for bin night
- Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in New Gisborne means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One calendar reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
- The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most New Gisborne households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
- Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push Macedon Ranges Shire collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
