Kerbside waste and recycling services

Waste and recycling bins should be placed out the night before your collection day. Bins should be kept half a metre apart and no further than one metre from the kerbside.

Northern Grampians Shire Council general local laws prescribe:

  • A waste or recycling bin awaiting collection of its contents must not be placed on a road, or on any other municipal place, more than 24 hours prior to the collection day.
  • A waste or recycling bin must be removed from a road or any other municipal place within 24 hours of the collection day.
  • The owner or occupier of the premises must remove any materials which have spilled from the property’s waste or recycling bin onto a road, or any other municipal place.

For all non-compulsory areas,

Pending review of the service in partnership with our contractor, council will not accept further opt-in waste and recycling service from non-compulsory areas. Please contact council's waste department for more information. 5358 8700

Each property is allocated a set of bins, with the initial supply provided by council when the property first joins the waste service. Ongoing responsibility for the security and maintenance of these bins’ rests with the property owner.

Where bins are lost or stolen, replacement costs will be charged to the property owner.

This helps minimise the risk of bins being left unsecured or taken by tenants or previous owners.

Council will cover the cost of repairing or replacing bins where damage occurs due to normal wear and tear associated with the collection service, including instances where a bin has fallen into the collection truck.
