Victorian Government Waste Reform

The Victorian Government is changing the household waste collection process to improve recycling end-products. All Victorian Council's and Alpine Management Boards will move to a four stream collection system over the next several years.

To accommodate this, you will need four recycling bins in the near future:

• Stream 1: Bin for kerbside collection of waste
• Stream 2: Bin for co-mingled recycling
• Stream 3: Bin for FOGO (food organics + garden organics), and
• Stream 4: Bin for Glass You can also drop glass off at certain collection points around the Shire.

Reform Timing

Glass service must begin by 2027, while the FOGO deadline is set for 2030.

Glenelg Shire Implementation

The Victorian Government has mandated the provision of a Food and Garden Organics (FOGO) service by 2030 as part of the transition to a consistent, state-wide waste and recycling system. FOGO is now considered an essential kerbside service.

Council will commence the FOGO kerbside collection service from 1 April 2026 across all compulsory kerbside collection areas.

For more information on these reforms, visit the Victoria household waste website.
