Collection Times
Please note, there are no collections on Christmas Day, New Years and Good Friday. All other days, including public holidays, there are collections as usual.
Place your rubbish, recycling and greenwaste bins on the kerbside by 7:30 am on your collection day.
Remember, you place your rubbish out for collection every week. Your yellow lid recycling bin and glass crate are placed out together every second week, alternating with your greenwaste collection (if you receive it).
Collection generally occurs at about the same time each week, although this can be influenced by the weather, roadworks, breakdowns or heavy collection days. Bins will be serviced between the hours of 7:30 am and 5:30 pm. If your bin has not been serviced by 5:30 pm on your given day of collection, please contact Customer Services on 07 306 0500.
Kerbside rubbish is collected weekly, while greenwaste and recycling collections happen fortnightly on alternate weeks. The fees for this service are paid via rates, and Council supplies each urban household with a rubbish bin (80 litre), a yellow lid recycling bin (240 litre), a glass crate, and a greenwaste bin (240 litre). Rural and commercial properties just receive the rubbish bin, recycling bin, and glass crate.
Recycling
Please place all your glass bottles and jars (with lids off) in your crate and all other recyclables (paper, cardboard, tins, cans and grades 1, 2 and 5 plastics) in your yellow lid bin. Recyclables will only be collected if they are inside the crate and yellow lid bin.
