Frequently asked questions

What happens to bins on public holidays?

It depends on the holiday and the council. When Murrindindi Shire 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.

Why does my neighbour in Yea have a different bin day?

Collection routes are planned street by street, so two nearby addresses can sit on different runs, and near a boundary they can even sit in different councils. Collection days in Yea vary by street, so check your exact address. Confirm with your own address rather than copying the neighbours.

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 Yea can send a whole truck to landfill, and Murrindindi Shire can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Yea bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
  • Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push Murrindindi Shire collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
  • Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and Murrindindi Shire's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
