About your council's collection service

Wheelers Hill falls under Monash City for waste and recycling collections.

  • Monash City Council runs a three-bin kerbside service across all residential areas in the municipality.
  • Recycling and garden organics alternate fortnightly, so you put out a different bin most weeks.
  • The council provides caddy bags for kitchen food scraps collection, available from the council website.
  • Your specific collection day depends on your street. Enter your address above to find yours.

Visit Monash City website for the official policy and any service updates.

Recycling rule worth knowing

Remove caps and lids from plastic bottles before recycling.

Caps are often a different type of plastic that causes contamination if mixed with the bottle material. Metal screw-top lids on glass jars are the exception and those can stay on.

Example: Milk bottles, shampoo bottles, soft drink bottles: pop the cap off first.

Frequently asked questions

What is FOGO and does it apply here?

FOGO means Food Organics and Garden Organics: food scraps composted along with garden waste in the green bin. Whether Monash City's green bin accepts food depends on its current rollout; the lid sticker is the quickest check, and the council website confirms it.

Should I rinse containers before recycling?

A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Wheelers Hill's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections.

Are the bins different if I rent in Wheelers Hill?

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

Quick tips for bin night

  • The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Wheelers Hill households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
  • 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.
  • Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Monash City tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
