Frequently asked questions

How often is recycling collected in Warragul?

Baw Baw Shire collects recycling fortnightly, alternating with the garden organics bin. Collection days vary by street, and an address search shows which fortnight you are in right now.

Are the bins different if I rent in Warragul?

No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever Baw Baw 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.

Can broken glass go in the recycling bin?

No. Unbroken bottles and jars belong in the yellow bin, but broken glass is a hazard for sorting staff. Wrap it in newspaper, seal it in a bag and put it in the general waste bin.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Baw Baw Shire tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
  • Check your bin before bin night. Bin night is not the time to discover the bin is still full from last fortnight. A quick check the day before saves a very long fortnight.
  • Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Warragul the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
