About your council's collection service
Violet Town falls under Strathbogie Shire for waste and recycling collections.
- Strathbogie Shire Council provides kerbside waste and recycling collection across rural townships including Euroa, Nagambie, and Violet Town.
- As a small rural shire, collections operate on a fortnightly cycle. Some rural properties outside township boundaries use shire transfer stations instead.
- The shire maintains several transfer stations for residents who prefer to self-haul waste, recycling, and green waste.
- Your specific collection day depends on your street. Enter your address above to find yours.
Visit Strathbogie Shire website for the official policy and any service updates.
Australia Day and Anzac Day can move your collection
Australia Day on 26 January and Anzac Day on 25 April are public holidays nationwide. When either lands on a weekday, councils that collect that day often delay the rest of the week by one day.
Tip: If your bin day is mid-week, glance at the council notice the week these dates fall on a weekday.
Frequently asked questions
What is FOGO and does it apply here?
FOGO means food scraps composted together with garden waste in a green bin. Violet Town's standard lineup does not currently include that bin, so food waste goes in general waste for now; councils across VIC are progressively adding organics services.
What happens if I miss bin night in Violet Town?
General waste catches up next week, but Strathbogie Shire collects recycling fortnightly, so a missed night there can mean a two week wait. If a bin is overflowing as a result, Strathbogie Shire may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.
Are the bins different if I rent in Violet Town?
No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever Strathbogie 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.

Quick tips for bin night
- Rain is not an excuse. The bin does not care if it is raining. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
- Loose, not bagged. Tip recycling in loose. A tied bag cannot be opened on the sorting line, so the whole lot gets treated as rubbish. The bag defeats the entire point.
- Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push Strathbogie Shire collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
