A delayed week often means a fuller bin

When collections are pushed back over a holiday period, the gap between pickups grows. General waste and organics can build up faster than usual, especially across the festive season when households produce more of both.

Tip: Squash and flatten where you can, and avoid overfilling. A lid that will not close can mean the truck skips your bin.

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 Loddon Shire runs use an automated arm, and bins in Wedderburn blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.

What counts as recycling contamination?

Anything in the yellow bin that does not belong: food soiled packaging, soft plastics, clothing, electrical items. It matters because a contaminated load from Wedderburn can send a whole truck to landfill, and Loddon Shire can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.

Why was my bin in Wedderburn not collected?

The usual reasons: the lid was not fully closed, the bin was out after the truck passed, contamination was spotted in the recycling, or the truck arm could not reach past a parked car. Loddon Shire has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Wedderburn the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
  • Know your fortnight. Wedderburn 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.
  • 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.
