Waste and recycling education program

We offer education programs to kindergarten and primary schools around the municipality, and occasionally we host events in libraries and Council facilities with the latest waste and recycling related knowledge. Reach out to recycle@mvcc.vic.gov.au if you are interested to find out about how you can book these information sessions with us.

Recycling hubs

We have recycling hubs in selected libraries and the Civic Centre to offer our community members free and convenient drop-off points for small items that cannot be placed in household bins. These items include batteries, mobile phones, printer cartridges and fluoro tubes. Recycling hubs are currently hosted by Sam Merrifield Library, Avondale Heights Library, Niddrie Library and the Civic Centre Customer Service area.

Soft plastic recycling is currently available at Avondale Heights Library, Niddrie Library and Transfer Station.
