Victoria's four-stream reform concerns household services: glass, food and garden organics, mixed recycling and general rubbish. It is not an identical bin prescription for every commercial premises.
What to check
- For household collection, check the council's actual rollout, capacity, frequency and acceptance rules.
- For business collection, map your own materials and service agreement instead of copying a household poster.
- In mixed-use buildings, distinguish household eligibility from retail and office collection.
- Keep signs aligned with the actual service; lid colour does not establish material acceptance.
Source context
State guidance describes purple glass, lime-green FOGO, yellow mixed-recycling and red rubbish lids, with local service variation. Victorian Government: Standardising household recycling across Victoria.
