Old streetscapes, modern bin schedule. The two coexist just fine.

Whatever year your house was built, the kerbside collection is very much a current-era thing.

What goes where: takeaway coffee cups

Correct bin: General Waste (red lid).

The waterproof plastic lining means a standard takeaway cup cannot be recycled kerbside. The lid is sometimes recyclable if it is rigid plastic, but the cup itself is not.

Avoid: Don't assume a paper-looking cup is recyclable. A reusable cup avoids the problem entirely.

Frequently asked questions

Does Talbot have a garden organics bin?

Pyrenees Shire does not include a standard garden organics bin in Talbot'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.

What happens to bins on public holidays?

It depends on the holiday and the council. When Pyrenees Shire shifts collections, everything from the holiday onward that week usually moves one day later. An address search during a holiday week shows any adjusted dates the council has published.

Do I get money back for drink containers?

Yes. CDS Vic refunds 10 cents per eligible drink container in VIC, at depots, return machines and bag drop points. Containers you redeem are extra money in your pocket; eligible containers you skip still go in the recycling bin.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Know your fortnight. Talbot alternates its fortnightly bins, and guessing wrong is the classic move. The neighbours' kerb on bin morning is the traditional answer; an address search is the reliable one.
  • Face the opening to the street. The lifter arm on Pyrenees Shire's trucks grabs from the road side. Lid opening toward the street, half a metre of clear space each side, and the bin gets emptied instead of skipped.
  • Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Talbot bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
