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
- Face the opening to the street. The lifter arm on Mitchell Shire's trucks grabs from the road side. Lid opening toward the street, half a metre of clear space each side, and the bin gets emptied instead of skipped.
- 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.
- Know your fortnight. Wallan alternates its fortnightly bins, and guessing wrong is the classic move. The neighbours' kerb on bin morning is the traditional answer; an address search is the reliable one.
