Frequently asked questions

Can I put the bin out the night before?

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

What happens to bins on public holidays?

It depends on the holiday and the council. When Wyndham City shifts collections, everything from the holiday onward that week usually moves one day later, so a Thursday run can become the following day. An address search during a holiday week shows any adjusted dates the council has published.

Should I rinse containers before recycling?

A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Truganina's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections waiting for the next Thursday.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Truganina bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
  • Empty it before you bin it. A half full bottle leaks through the paper and cardboard sharing its bin. Drain liquids first and the whole load stays cleaner.
  • Know your fortnight. Truganina alternates its fortnightly bins, and guessing wrong is the classic move. The neighbours' kerb on Thursday morning is the traditional answer; an address search is the reliable one.
