Thanks to your efforts, we’re making great progress and are ahead of schedule in changing all residential rubbish bin lids in Knox from yellow to red.
Nearly 60,000 (86%) rubbish bin lids in Knox have been changed since the rollout began on 28 April. Thank you to everyone who has left their bin out on rubbish collection day so their lid can be changed – your help has made this progress possible.
There are approximately 10,000 rubbish bin lids in Knox left to be swapped. This will be conducted over the coming months and scheduled for completion by October.
For those still to get their red lid, thank you for your patience. Here’s what you need to know.

Lids are being changed as part of Victoria's plan for a circular economy, which requires everyone in Victoria to have the same colour bin lids, helping us all put the right things in the right bin and manage our waste better.
