Old streetscapes, modern bin schedule. The two coexist just fine.

Whatever year your house was built, the kerbside collection is very much a current-era thing.

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

Why does my neighbour have a different bin day?

Collection routes are planned street by street, so two nearby addresses can sit on different runs or even different councils near a boundary. Always confirm by entering your own address rather than copying a neighbour's schedule.

What happens if I miss bin night?

Recycling and garden organics are collected fortnightly in many councils, so a missed night can mean waiting two weeks. Some councils let you report an overflowing bin for a special collection. Check your council's website for their missed collection process.

Can I recycle pizza boxes?

A clean, dry pizza box is recyclable. If the base is soaked with grease and cheese, tear off and recycle the clean lid, and put the greasy part in general waste. Oil contaminates the paper recycling process.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Flatten before you fill. A single un-flattened box can eat half your recycling bin. Break it down first and you'll fit a fortnight of cardboard without a fight.
  • Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling doesn't clean itself. A 10-second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps your bin from becoming a science experiment.
  • Loose, not bagged. Tip your recycling in loose. A tied bag can't be opened on the sorting line, so the whole lot gets treated as rubbish. The bag defeats the entire point.
