Avoid bin contamination

• Get it right on bin night; check the A-Z Recycling Guide

• Check the list of the top recycling contaminants(PDF, 3MB)
• Contamination occurs when incorrect items are placed in your bins, even in your garbage bin.
• If you collect recyclable containers or green waste in plastic bags, remember to always EMPTY the bag into the bin.
• Landfill is our most expensive way of disposing of waste. If it can be put into your recycle bin or green waste bin, do it.
• Contamination is a form of pollution and an offence under Local Laws. If your bin is found to be contaminated, it will be stickered. You will be sent a letter, and you will be required to remove the incorrect items from your bin before it can be emptied.

Find your bin collection day

Your garbage bin will be collected once a week. 

• Morwell garbage collection days
• Traralgon garbage collection days
• Moe garbage collection days
• Small town garbage collection days

Your recycling bin and your green waste bin will be collected on alternate weeks on the same day as your garbage.
