Romsey 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

Keep lids closed on your recycling bin on collection day.

An overflowing recycling bin with the lid open can have its contents spilled by wind or rejected by the collection truck's automated arm.

Example: If your bin is full, break down any large cardboard boxes to make room rather than stacking items on top.

Frequently asked questions

Are the bins different if I rent in Romsey?

No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever Macedon Ranges Shire 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.

What do I do with old electronics?

Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Victoria, and Macedon Ranges Shire lists its e-waste drop off options online, usually the local transfer station plus periodic collection events. Officeworks takes computers, phones and cables in most areas.

What goes in the yellow recycling bin?

Paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, steel and aluminium cans, and rigid plastic containers like bottles, tubs and trays. Soft plastics, food waste and contaminated packaging do not belong in it anywhere in VIC.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Romsey the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
  • Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Romsey means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One calendar reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
  • Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
