Things to Remember on Collection Day

Put your bin out by 6:00 AM on collection day or the night before.
Place bins within one metre of the kerb with the handle facing your house.
Keep bins at least one metre apart to allow for easy collection.
Ensure the lid is fully closed—overfilled bins may not be collected.
Keep bins light—trucks can’t pick up bins over 70kg.
Avoid obstacles—place bins away from low-hanging branches, power lines, and parked cars.
Bring bins in within 24 hours after collection and store them on your property.

If your collection day falls on a public holiday, including Christmas Day and Good Friday, we will still empty the bin.
