Recycling rule worth knowing

Empty and dry liquid containers before they go in.

Leftover liquid soaks into paper and cardboard in the same bin, ruining it for recycling and making the load heavier and harder to process.

Example: Tip out the last of the milk or juice and give the bottle a quick drain before it goes in the yellow bin.

Frequently asked questions

Are the bins different if I rent in Tatura?

No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever Greater Shepparton City 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.

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, Greater Shepparton City included.

Can I put the bin out the night before?

Yes, and it is the safer habit. Greater Shepparton City asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Tatura can run early. Putting bins out on the evening before the Wednesday run avoids the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night, and in most of Tatura that night is Wednesday. These are two different things and both matter.
  • Check your bin before bin night. Wednesday evening 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.
  • Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Tatura bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
