Waste that is put into the garbage bin is taken to landfill where it is buried and compressed underground. It is important to recycle as much as possible to ensure these natural resources aren’t lost and are used to create new products instead.

Your Recycle bin has a yellow lid and is 240L in size. Collections for this bin are fortnightly.

More can be recycled in Green-lid bins!

Our green-lid bin service now allows you to recycle more types of food waste, not just fruit and vegetable scraps. If you have food scraps from leftovers, or are cleaning out your fridge, you can now recycle all your food waste (without packaging) into your green-lid bin.

You can also still add your grass, branches, leaves, and weeds.

By recycling food and green waste, you’re diverting waste from going to landfill which is beneficial for the environment, as it reduces the creation of harmful greenhouse gases.

The food and green waste is recycled into compost and mulch that is then used on farms or parks and gardens.

Items that can be recycled in a green-lid bin includes:

Kitchen Caddies

Residents who opt for the green waste service are eligible to obtain a free kitchen caddy for their food waste from one of our collection points.

Storing of Bins:

On non-collection days, all your bins must be stored on your property, not on the footpath, street or nature strip. Bins left out on the street, footpath or nature strip can create safety hazards and cause littering problems if they get knocked over. They're also more likely to be damaged, stolen or lost. Please contact council if you have problems storing your bin on your property between collections.

For Houses on Courts:

If you live in a court please:

• Mark your bin with your house number
• Please place bins on the straight section of the street - not in the bowl or 'T'
• Do not park vehicles in court bowl or 'T' on collection day. This prevents waste vehicles from being able to turn and can disrupt collection.

Apartment or Unit:

Not all apartments and unit developments have bins collected by us. Some have private waste collections which have different arrangements and may accept different items. Please check with your property manager or owner’s corporation.
