- If your bin is not collected by 5pm on the your bin collection day, you can let us know by our online customer portal or calling our customer service team on 1300 023 411.
- Place bins side by side near the kerb with handles facing away from the road
- Leave 50cm space between bins and 1 metre clear of trees, light and power poles, parked vehicles and driveways.
- Ensure recycling bin and green waste bin are placed out on the correct day, as they are collected on alternate weeks.
- Bring your bins back to your property within 24 hours of collection
- Do not squash the items in the bin, this can result in the waste being jammed and difficulty when emptying
- Place waste inside the bin: extra bags or boxes will not be collected
- Make sure the bin lid can close and do not fill to more than 70kg
- If you live in a court, mark your bin with your house number and place it on the straight section of the street. Please do not park your vehicles in the court on the day of your collection as it prevents the waste vehicles from being able to turn and can disrupt collection

Ordering an Optional Bin
Conditions:
- Optional bin charges are NON-REFUNDABLE.
- Allow up to, two (2) weeks for Council to deliver a new bin to your property.
- If the service is to be continued in the following financial year, the optional bin charge will automatically occur on the property owner’s rates notice. The form MUST be signed by the owner and agents must provide owners authority.
- If you wish to cancel the service in the following financial year, please complete Councils “Cancellation of optional/additional bin/s form” (available from Council' s website), prior to 30 June to prevent the non-refundable charge re-occurring.
- Optional bins must not be moved from the property or relocated to another property upon cancellation.
- Owners in the process of selling their property are not able to cancel the optional bin service, as the new owner pays for the optional bin in the conveyancing process, (up to the end of the financial year). It is up to the new owner to cancel the bin, if it is not required.
- Acceptable forms of payment are: cash, cheque, money order, EFTPOS or credit card. A receipt will not be posted out unless otherwise requested by the applicant.
You can order an extra garbage, recycling or green waste bin by downloading, completing and submitting an additional bin form to Wyndham City via:

Where do you place your bin for collection
Storing of Bins:
On non-collection days, all your bins must be stored on your property, not on the footpath, street or nature strip. Bins left out on the street, footpath or nature strip can create safety hazards and cause littering problems if they get knocked over. They're also more likely to be damaged, stolen or lost. Please contact council if you have problems storing your bin on your property between collections.
For Houses on Courts:
If you live in a court please:
- Mark your bin with your house number
- Please place bins on the straight section of the street - not in the bowl or 'T'
- Do not park vehicles in court bowl or 'T' on collection day. This prevents waste vehicles from being able to turn and can disrupt collection.
Apartment or Unit:
Not all apartments and unit developments have bins collected by us. Some have private waste collections which have different arrangements and may accept different items. Please check with your property manager or owner’s corporation.
