What goes where: polystyrene foam

Correct bin: General Waste (red lid).

Standard kerbside recycling doesn't accept polystyrene, the white foam used in appliance packaging. Break it up to fit in the red bin. Some specialist facilities accept it separately.

Avoid: Don't put polystyrene in the yellow recycling bin. It clogs machinery and can't be sorted.

Frequently asked questions

What goes in the yellow recycling bin?

Paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, steel and aluminium cans, and rigid plastic containers like bottles, tubs and trays. Soft plastics, food waste and contaminated packaging do not belong in it anywhere in VIC.

Do I get money back for drink containers?

Yes. CDS Vic refunds 10 cents per eligible drink container in VIC, at depots, return machines and bag drop points. Containers you redeem are extra money in your pocket; eligible containers you skip still go in the recycling bin.

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

Quick tips for bin night

  • Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Yallourn North means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One recurring Tuesday evening reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
  • The lid has to close. An overflowing bin with the lid propped open often gets skipped, and then it waits until the following Tuesday, or spills down the street. If it will not shut, it will not go.
  • Check your bin before bin night. Tuesday evening 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.
