Ahead of bin collection please make sure bins are:
- Placed out the evening prior to collection
- Placed correctly on the kerb with the lids closed
- Not too heavy (bins may not be collected if they weigh more than 70kgs)
Council works closely with its waste and recycling contractor Veolia to reduce the amount of waste going to landfill.
Notice: Improving Bin Placement After Collection
We understand that proper bin placement is important to our residents, and we are working closely with our waste collection contractor, Veolia, to improve this process.
