Living near parks and waterways means more yard material. Council has a separate stream for that.

Visit Latrobe City website for the official policy and any service updates.
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.
Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Latrobe 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.
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.
A clean, dry pizza box is fine in the yellow bin. If the base is soaked with grease, tear off and recycle the clean lid and put the greasy half in general waste. This rule is the same across every VIC council, Latrobe City included.
The surrounding suburbs each have their own collection days. Here are the closest ones.
Two Yinnar streets can have two different bin nights. Your address gives you the exact dates for every bin at your place.
