Frequently asked questions
What happens to bins on public holidays?
It depends on the holiday and the council. When City of Melville 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.
Can broken glass go in the recycling bin?
No. Unbroken bottles and jars belong in the yellow bin, but broken glass is a hazard for sorting staff. Wrap it in newspaper, seal it in a bag and put it in the general waste bin.
How do I get rid of furniture or a mattress in Palmyra?
Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. City of Melville 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.

Quick tips for bin night
- Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Palmyra 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 City of Melville's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
- 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.
