Frequently asked questions

Why does my neighbour in Tanjil East have a different bin day?

Collection routes are planned street by street, so two nearby addresses can sit on different runs, and near a boundary they can even sit in different councils. In Tanjil East that mostly means Tuesday, though streets near a zone boundary can differ. Confirm with your own address rather than copying the neighbours.

What happens if I miss bin night in Tanjil East?

General waste catches up next week, but Latrobe City 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, Latrobe City may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.

Can I recycle pizza boxes?

A clean, dry pizza box is fine in the yellow bin. If the base is soaked with grease, tear off and recycle the clean lid and put the greasy half in general waste. This rule is the same across every VIC council, Latrobe City included.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Tanjil East means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One recurring Tuesday evening reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
  • Summer bins need managing. A Tanjil East red bin in January is a different beast. Bag food scraps tight, keep the bin in shade if you can, and get it out every single week even when it is barely half full.
  • Caps off, lids on. Small plastic caps come off the bottle and go in the red bin. Metal lids on glass jars can stay put. It is a small rule that trips up a lot of people.
