Empty and dry liquid containers before they go in.

Example: Tip out the last of the milk or juice and give the bottle a quick drain before it goes in the yellow bin.
Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Greater Dandenong 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.
