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.
Upper Ferntree Gully falls under Yarra Ranges Shire for waste and recycling collections.
Visit Yarra Ranges Shire website for the official policy and any service updates.
Correct bin: General Waste (red lid).
The waterproof plastic lining means a standard takeaway cup cannot be recycled kerbside. The lid is sometimes recyclable if it is rigid plastic, but the cup itself is not.
Avoid: Don't assume a paper-looking cup is recyclable. A reusable cup avoids the problem entirely.
General waste catches up next week, but Yarra Ranges Shire 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, Yarra Ranges Shire may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.
No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever Yarra Ranges Shire 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.
