Garbage

Did you know - wasteThe City of Stonnington provides weekly garbage collection. A choice of two bin sizes are offered for household garbage - 120 or 240 litre. If items cannot be re-used, recycled or composted, please place them in your garbage bin.

The following must not be placed in your garbage bin:

  • Hot ashes
  • Oil
  • Paint
  • Solvents
  • Any other liquids
  • Syringes
  • Unwrapped vacuum dust
  • Timber and other building materials

Please note:

  • No extra bags will be collected
  • Don't overfill bin, as this leads to litter on our streets
  • Bag all domestic garbage to prevent spillage during collection

Visit Virtual Map's website to find details of your local waste and recycling collection day. Alternatively, download a copy of Council's Recycling Calendar for 2010 - 11.

Have you got a Garden?

Recycling your garden waste is a great way to reduce your impact on the environment. The average Stonnington 240 litre waste bin contains 26.1% recyclable garden waste. Removing this material from your waste bin could result in a huge reduction in the amount of waste going to landfill, reduce the amount of methane produced in landfill and allow valuable resources to be processed into quality mulches and compost.

Visit the Garden Waste page more information.
