Oxley bin day at a glance

Green space, green bin. The garden organics collection is more useful here than you might think.

Living near parks and waterways means more yard material. Council has a separate stream for that.

Recycling rule worth knowing

Empty and dry liquid containers before they go in.

Leftover liquid soaks into paper and cardboard in the same bin, ruining it for recycling and making the load heavier and harder to process.

Example: Tip out the last of the milk or juice and give the bottle a quick drain before it goes in the yellow bin.

Frequently asked questions

Can I recycle pizza boxes?

A clean, dry pizza box is fine in the yellow bin. If the base is soaked with grease, tear off and recycle the clean lid and put the greasy half in general waste. This rule is the same across every VIC council, Wangaratta Rural City included.

What goes in the green bin?

Grass clippings, leaves, small branches and prunings. If Wangaratta Rural City runs a FOGO service, food scraps can join them in an approved compostable liner; if the lid says garden organics only, keep food out. When unsure, check the lid sticker or the council website.

What happens to bins on public holidays?

It depends on the holiday and the council. When Wangaratta Rural 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

  • Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Oxley bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
  • Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and Wangaratta Rural City's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
  • The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Oxley households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
