Frequently asked questions

What do I do with old electronics?

Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Victoria, and Moonee Valley City 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.

Can I put the bin out the night before?

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

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

Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Moonee Valley 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.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Strathmore bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
  • Check your bin before bin night. Bin night is not the time to discover the bin is still full from last fortnight. A quick check the day before saves a very long fortnight.
  • Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
