Purple Bin (Glass)

We’re investigating new waste and recycling services and supporting facilities so more resources can be recycled than ever before.

To cut waste and boost recycling and reuse, the Victorian Government requires councils to move to a four stream waste and recycling system by 2030.

Council is exploring introducing a mixture of kerbside collection and drop off points to suit urban and rural population needs.

These changes are planned to be introduced in July 2025.

To find out more information visit our Have Your Say page. 

What can be recycled? 

 Glass jars (empty, clean): pasta sauce, jam, condiments etc. *
 Glass bottles (empty, clean): cordial, oil, wine, champagne, beer, spirit etc. *

* These changes will come into effect when Council moves to a four stream waste and recycling system, planned for July 2025.

What can't be recycled?

 Bottle and jar lids and corks NOT attached to the container
 Drinking glassware and crystal glassware
 Mirrors and windows
 Glass bottles containing cigarette butts or lids
 Broken crockery, bakeware or glass storage containers
 Perfume bottles

All of these items must be placed in your red lid bin, except metal lids which can go in the yellow lid bin.
