Frequently asked questions

Where exactly should the bin go on the kerb?

On the footpath or nature strip close to the kerb, lid opening facing the street, with about half a metre clear on each side. The trucks Mitchell Shire runs use an automated arm, and bins in Wallan blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.

How do I get rid of furniture or a mattress in Wallan?

Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Mitchell Shire 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.

How often is recycling collected in Wallan?

Mitchell Shire collects recycling fortnightly. Collection days vary by street, and an address search shows which fortnight you are in right now.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Summer bins need managing. A Wallan red bin in January is a different beast. Bag food scraps tight, keep the bin in shade if you can, and get it out every single week even when it is barely half full.
  • Rain is not an excuse. The bin does not care if it is raining. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
  • Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Mitchell Shire tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
