Recycling bins (yellow lid) are collected once a fortnight and the following items are accepted in this bin.
Placing the correct items in your recycling bin makes sure more of your recycling can become new things.
You may also find this A-Z guide to kerbside recycling a useful reference.
Follow the journey of a Brimbank kerbside bin to the Material recovery facility in Laverton. This facility sorts out recycling into streams of paper, cardboard, hard plastic, aluminium and glass.
Once baled, recyclables are transported to onshore recyclers or exported to be turned into new products and materials.
Some items not accepted in your yellow-lid recycling bin can still be recycled by taking them to one of Brimbank's drop-off locations
