Whitehorse City Council

Whitehorse City Council runs household bins, booked hard waste collections and the Whitehorse Recycling and Waste Centre.

Households have a red-lid garbage bin (weekly; older bins have a dark green lid) and a yellow-lid recycling bin (fortnightly). A bright-green-lid food and garden organics (FOGO) bin is optional, with an annual charge.

Not every apartment or unit development has council bin collection; some have private collections, so check with your property manager or owners corporation.

Hard waste collection

• Who and how much: residents get 2 free booked collections each financial year; extra collections can be booked for a fee through the council’s contractor. Not available to businesses or commercial properties.
• Limits: up to 3 cubic metres per collection (1 m × 3 m × 1 m); items two people can lift; at most 2 mattresses or bases, which must be listed when you book.
• Not collected: household rubbish and recycling, loose garden waste, tyres, paint, gas bottles, batteries, building and renovation waste, fence panels and pallets, and hazardous items such as chemicals and asbestos. Full list.
• Booking notice: book by 5 pm Wednesday for collection the following week (it may take longer in busy times); collection is any time from 6 am Monday to 6 pm Friday of that week. Changes and cancellations close at 5 pm on the Wednesday before.
• Apartments: in blocks of 6 or more dwellings, contact the body corporate; some blocks have their own scheduled collections.

Planning a move-out

Book hard waste by 5 pm on a Wednesday for the following week, earlier in busy times, so it is collected before your end of lease clean and key handover. If that is too late, take items to the Whitehorse Recycling and Waste Centre (fees apply) or arrange a rubbish removal service.

Manningham Council

Manningham Council runs household bins and booked hard rubbish collections. It does not run its own tip; it lists nearby transfer stations run by other councils.

Households have a red-lid garbage bin and a yellow-lid recycling bin, each collected fortnightly on alternate weeks, and a green-lid food and garden organics (FOGO) bin collected weekly.

Hard rubbish collection

• Who and how much: properties with a council residential bin service can book up to two hard rubbish or bundled branches collections per calendar year: two standard collections of 2 cubic metres, or both combined into one of 4 cubic metres.
• Limits: items under 50 kg that two people can lift and no longer than 1.5 m; at most two mattresses and four car tyres per standard collection.
• Not collected: chemicals, liquids and paint, household rubbish and recycling, garden waste, building and renovation material including asbestos, batteries, gas bottles, and joinery or cabinetry. Full list.
• Booking notice: book before 5 pm Wednesday for collection between Monday and Friday of the following week (except over Christmas and New Year). Cancel by 5 pm on the Friday before.
• Cost: the council’s hard rubbish page does not list a fee; ask the council if you need more than your two collections.
• Book: online booking form, call 03 9840 9333 or email [email protected].
