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

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