What goes where: nappies and wipes

Correct bin: General Waste (red lid).

Disposable nappies and baby wipes are general waste, even the ones labelled biodegradable, which do not break down in a standard kerbside system.

Avoid: Don't flush wipes, even flushable ones. They contribute to blockages in the sewer network.

Frequently asked questions

Does Stawell have a garden organics bin?

Northern Grampians Shire does not include a standard garden organics bin in Stawell's kerbside lineup. Green waste is handled through drop off, booked collections or an opt in bin depending on the council; their website has the current options.

Can I put the bin out the night before?

Yes, and it is the safer habit. Northern Grampians Shire asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Stawell can run early. The evening before beats the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.

Where exactly should the bin go on the kerb?

On the footpath or nature strip close to the kerb, lid opening facing the street, with about half a metre clear on each side. The trucks Northern Grampians Shire runs use an automated arm, and bins in Stawell blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push Northern Grampians Shire collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
  • Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Stawell means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One calendar reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
  • Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Northern Grampians Shire tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
