What goes where: batteries

Correct bin: Neither bin. Drop off at Bunnings or a council facility..

Avoid: Don't put batteries in any kerbside bin, not even the general waste bin.

Frequently asked questions

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

Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Merri-bek City Council 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 is FOGO and does it apply here?

FOGO means Food Organics and Garden Organics: food scraps composted along with garden waste in the green bin. Whether Merri-bek City Council's green bin accepts food depends on its current rollout; the lid sticker is the quickest check, and the council website confirms it.

What happens if I miss bin night in Pascoe Vale?

General waste catches up next week, but Merri-bek City Council collects recycling and garden organics fortnightly, so a missed night there can mean a two week wait. If a bin is overflowing as a result, Merri-bek City Council may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Rain is not an excuse. The bin does not care if it is raining. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
  • Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Merri-bek City Council tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
  • 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.
