Important things to know:

  • To find out how and where to sort you waste visit the A - Z Interactive Residential Waste Guide.
  • Find my bin collection day or download a Waste Collection Calendar and Map
  • Place your bin out a night before your collection day
  • Place bins side by side near the kerb with handles facing away from the road
  • Leave 50cm space between bins and  1 metre clear of trees, light and power poles, parked vehicles and driveways.
  • Ensure recycling bin and green waste bin are placed out on the correct day, as they are collected on alternate weeks.
  • Bring your bins back to your property within 24 hours of collection
  • Do not squash the items in the bin, this can result in the waste being jammed and difficulty when emptying
  • Place waste inside the bin: extra bags or boxes will not be collected
  • Make sure the bin lid can close and do not fill to more than 70kg
  • If you live in a court, mark your bin with your house number and place it on the straight section of the street. Please do not park your vehicles in the court on the day of your collection as it prevents the waste vehicles from being able to turn and can disrupt collection

Requesting Bins for a New Home

You can order Garbage (red lid) and Recycle (yellow lid) bins for a newly constructed house.

Green Waste (green lid) bins are an optional service. 

The property must be occupied before bins will be delivered. Once you are in the house and the bins are ordered, the bins will be delivered to the nature strip within 2 working days.
