Street Litter Bins
There are approximately 650 street litter bins throughout the City of Port Phillip. Bins are emptied on different schedules depending on their location. The bins are provided for casual public litter and should not be used for the disposal of commercial waste from shops and business premises.
Emptying Schedule
| Location | Emptying schedule |
|---|---|
| Large shopping centres | Daily and twice on weekends |
| Small shopping centres | 3 times per week |
| Milk bars and cafes | 3 times per week |
| Foreshore | Daily to weekly |
The above schedules are a guide only. Some locations are emptied more often based on the usage pattern of the bin and seasonal influences on litter generation.
