Frequently asked questions

Why was my bin in Niddrie 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. Moonee Valley City has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.

How do I get rid of furniture or a mattress in Niddrie?

Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Moonee Valley City runs a hard waste service, either booked on demand or on scheduled dates depending on the area; the booking form and accepted items list are on the council website. Charities collect saleable furniture free.

What happens to bins on public holidays?

It depends on the holiday and the council. When Moonee Valley City 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

  • Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Niddrie bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
  • Caps off, lids on. Small plastic caps come off the bottle and go in the red bin. Metal lids on glass jars can stay put. It is a small rule that trips up a lot of people.
  • Know your fortnight. Niddrie 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.
