What goes where: nappies and wipes

Correct bin: General Waste (red lid).

Disposable nappies and baby wipes are general waste, even the ones labelled biodegradable, which do not break down in a standard kerbside system.

Avoid: Don't flush wipes, even flushable ones. They contribute to blockages in the sewer network.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get a larger or extra bin?

Buloke Shire offers larger or additional bins for eligible households, such as big families or medical needs, usually for a fee. Contact the council's waste team; if you are new to Wycheproof, check what size is standard first, since upgrade policies differ between councils.

Can I put the bin out the night before?

Yes, and it is the safer habit. Buloke Shire asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Wycheproof can run early. The evening before beats the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.

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

  • Caps off, lids on. Small plastic caps come off the bottle and go in the red bin. Metal lids on glass jars can stay put. It is a small rule that trips up a lot of people.
  • The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Wycheproof households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
  • Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push Buloke Shire collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
