Loading Which Bin This Week?…
Beechworth's bin days — the green Organics bin every Tuesday, and the red and yellow bins on alternating Tuesdays — plus what goes in each one.
Loading the latest information…
In Beechworth, bins go out on Tuesday. The green-lid Organics bin is collected every week; the red-lid general waste bin and the yellow-lid recycling bin are collected fortnightly, on alternating Tuesdays. This page works out the next collection from the council's 2026 calendar, so you can see whether this Tuesday is a red week or a yellow week. Indigo Shire is a three-bin shire — there's no separate glass bin yet, so glass bottles and jars go in the yellow recycling bin.
All of Beechworth town is collected on Tuesday. (Some rural properties outside town don't get the green Organics bin.)
