Your bins need to be:
- on the kerb by 6am on the day of collection, or ideally the night before
- removed within one day of collection.
Your weekly general waste will still be collected on a public holiday, even Christmas Day!
Placement of your bin
Waste collection trucks have a mechanical lifting arm, so bins need to be positioned to ensure the mechanical arm can reach and lift.
Please place your bins:
- near the kerb or roadside with the wheels nearest to the house or property
- 30cm (about 1 foot) away from additional bins to allow space for the mechanical arm to access each bin
- at least 1m away from trees or light poles, this space is needed for safety reasons
- away from parked cars
- outside the truck turning zone – this applies to dead end streets, courts, etc
Where special bin placement instructions apply, please continue to obey these instructions.
