Waste Management

Collection of the new purple-lid glass recycling bin starts Monday 17 February 2025. 
We appreciate your help to improve recycling and reduce waste going to landfills!

What do you need to do?
Place your purple bin and your yellow mixed recycling bin out on your collection day during the week of 17 February, and we’ll collect both.

We’re listening…
We heard your feedback about the new glass bins. A comprehensive Frequently Asked Questions section on our website answers most questions people have and should assist in making the transition smoother and is available here.

The updated waste collection schedule is designed to be the most cost-effective option for the community when balancing the increasing cost of travel and disposal of general waste and recyclables.

These changes help us to:

  • Deploy a more efficient recycling schedule.
  • Reduce landfill and keep costs down.

For those who need more capacity in their bins, additional bins are available for a fee.

Golden Plains Shire Council is proud to support the Victorian Government’s push to standardise recycling services and reduce waste going to Victorian landfills.
