All Victorian households will soon have four wheelie bins at home and be able to recycle pizza boxes and soft plastics, as part of the state government's $515m reform of the recycling system.

Victoria's environment minister, Lily D'Ambrosio, was on Thursday joined by her federal counterpart, Tanya Plibersek, to announce the framework for the four-bin system, as well as a joint $14.3m worth of funding for recycling projects in Victoria.
