Recycling rule worth knowing

Return soft plastics to a collection point rather than the kerb.

Bags, wrappers and films tangle in machinery and cannot be processed in kerbside recycling. Dedicated drop-off programs handle them separately when they are running.

Example: Bread bags, pasta packets and bubble wrap: collect them at home and take them to a participating retailer.

Frequently asked questions

What happens to bins on public holidays?

It depends on the holiday and the council. When Wodonga City shifts collections, everything from the holiday onward that week usually moves one day later. An address search during a holiday week shows any adjusted dates the council has published.

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 Wodonga can send a whole truck to landfill, and Wodonga City can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.

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

Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Wodonga City 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.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Wodonga the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
  • Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and Wodonga City's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
  • The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Wodonga households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
