Changes to bin collections - Daylesford and Creswick

We are making some changes to bin collection routes in areas of Daylesford and Creswick, commencing from Monday 7 July 2025.
There will be no change to collection days or frequency of bin collections, but some residents will change collection areas, meaning the fortnightly collections of mixed recycling and general rubbish may be collected on opposite weeks than currently scheduled.

Residents affected by these changes will have received a letter from Council to explain the changes. Included in this letter was a calendar with a small error with incorrectly labelled areas. Please follow the schedule listed in your letter and on the calendar you have received. Updated calendars can be found below, but if you have received an incorrect calendar and would like an updated calendar mailed to your address, please contact Council.

Printed copies of these new calendars will be available at our customer service hubs shortly.

Bin placement

Place bins out the night before your collection day to ensure your bins are emptied (or by 6 am on the day of collection):

  • Place bins close to the gutter with the handles facing your house.
  • Place your bins apart, ideally 1 m.
  • Ensure only permitted items are in your bin.
  • Do not overfill or place anything on top of the bins.
  • Place smaller bins closer to the side of the driver so they are visible.
