Frequently asked questions

What counts as recycling contamination?

Anything in the yellow bin that does not belong: food soiled packaging, soft plastics, clothing, electrical items. It matters because a contaminated load from Nichols Point can send a whole truck to landfill, and Mildura Rural City can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.

Are the bins different if I rent in Nichols Point?

No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever Mildura Rural City 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.

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

  • Know your fortnight. Nichols Point 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.
  • Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and Mildura Rural City's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
  • Summer bins need managing. A Nichols Point 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.
