Paper is one of the most successfully recovered materials in Australia's waste stream, largely because it's well-understood and sorted effectively kerbside.

Frequently asked questions

Are the bins different if I rent in Tallangatta?

No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever Towong 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 happens if I miss bin night in Tallangatta?

General waste catches up next week, but Towong Shire collects recycling and garden organics fortnightly, so a missed night there can mean a two week wait. If a bin is overflowing as a result, Towong Shire may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.

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

  • The lid has to close. An overflowing bin with the lid propped open often gets skipped, or spills down the street. If it will not shut, it will not go.
  • Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push Towong Shire collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
  • The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Tallangatta households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
