Refuse & Recycling
The introduction of the two-bin refuse collection service has been a huge success in terms of ratepayer acceptance and recycling across the region.
On garbage collection day your bin should be placed facing outwards on the edge of the kerb spaced at least 40cm apartment. Residents are also advised to place the bin out before 6am on collection day otherwise your bin might be missed! Bins should not have rubbish overflowing. Residents must ensure that the lid is closed to minimise the risk of littering. Extra refuse left beside, or that overflows onto the ground around the bin will not be collected.
Residents should be aware that a limit of approximately 60 kg can be lifted and therefore overweight receptacles cannot be emptied and become the responsibility of the resident. Once your bins have been serviced they must be removed from the footpath or road. Please store your bins in a suitable location within your property boundary.
An advice sticker on what to place in your bin is located on the underside of the lid. The following items must not be placed in your bin:
- Hot ashes, oil, paint, solvents, garden waste, timber or any other building material, engine parts vehicle batteries, syringes, tyres, asbestos or any other liquids.
Some of these items may be accepted at Councils Landfills or Transfer Stations.
Repair and replacement of wheelie bins can be arranged upon request. Please contact your nearest Council Administration Service Centre for assistance.
