Green space, green bin. The garden organics collection is more useful here than you might think.
Living near parks and waterways means more yard material. Council has a separate stream for that.
Traralgon South falls under Latrobe City for waste and recycling collections.
Visit Latrobe City website for the official policy and any service updates.
When collections are pushed back over a holiday period, the gap between pickups grows. General waste and organics can build up faster than usual, especially across the festive season when households produce more of both.
Tip: Squash and flatten where you can, and avoid overfilling. A lid that will not close can mean the truck skips your bin.
Anything in the yellow bin that does not belong: food soiled packaging, soft plastics, clothing, electrical items. It matters because a contaminated load from Traralgon South can send a whole truck to landfill, and Latrobe City can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.
No. Unbroken bottles and jars belong in the yellow bin, but broken glass is a hazard for sorting staff. Wrap it in newspaper, seal it in a bag and put it in the general waste bin.
No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever Latrobe 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.
