Some things don't change regardless of how old the neighbourhood is.

About your council's collection service

Nhill falls under Hindmarsh Shire for waste and recycling collections.

  • Hindmarsh Shire provides kerbside waste and recycling collection across Wimmera townships including Nhill, Dimboola, Jeparit, and Rainbow.
  • Collections operate fortnightly across all serviced townships.
  • As a small remote shire, some outlying properties may need to use council transfer stations for waste disposal rather than kerbside collection.
  • Your specific collection day depends on your street. Enter your address above to find yours.

Visit Hindmarsh Shire website for the official policy and any service updates.

Recycling rule worth knowing

Never bag your recycling. Put items directly in the bin..

Plastic bags prevent automated sorting lines from processing the contents. The bag and everything inside it typically ends up in landfill regardless of what's inside.

Example: Tins, bottles, cardboard: loose in the yellow bin, not in a bag.

Frequently asked questions

What do I do with old electronics?

Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Victoria, and Hindmarsh Shire lists its e-waste drop off options online, usually the local transfer station plus periodic collection events. Officeworks takes computers, phones and cables in most areas.

What happens to bins on public holidays?

It depends on the holiday and the council. When Hindmarsh 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.

Do I get money back for drink containers?

Yes. CDS Vic refunds 10 cents per eligible drink container in VIC, at depots, return machines and bag drop points. Containers you redeem are extra money in your pocket; eligible containers you skip still go in the recycling bin.

Quick tips for bin night

  • The lid has to close. An overflowing bin with the lid propped open often gets skipped, or spills down the street. If it will not shut, it will not go.
  • Know your fortnight. Nhill alternates its fortnightly bins, and guessing wrong is the classic move. The neighbours' kerb on bin morning is the traditional answer; an address search is the reliable one.
  • Summer bins need managing. A Nhill 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.
