Correct bin: General Waste (red lid).
Standard kerbside recycling doesn't accept polystyrene, the white foam used in appliance packaging. Break it up to fit in the red bin. Some specialist facilities accept it separately.
Avoid: Don't put polystyrene in the yellow recycling bin. It clogs machinery and can't be sorted.
Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Hume City runs a hard waste service, either booked on demand or on scheduled dates depending on the area; the booking form and accepted items list are on the council website. Charities collect saleable furniture free.
Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Victoria, and Hume City lists its e-waste drop off options online, usually the local transfer station plus periodic collection events. Officeworks takes computers, phones and cables in most areas.
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.
Nearby suburbs have their own bin days, sometimes different from yours. Here they are.
