It's important to put the right items in your bins and ensure they are put out correctly to minimise collection issues
On Bin Collection Day
- Place bins out the night before your collection day
- Bins should be returned to your property within 24 hours after collection
- Place bins near the kerb with handles away from the road
- Leave 50cm between bins and cars, street lights or other bins
- Bins must not weigh over 70kg each
- Do not over fill bins - lid must be able to be closed
- Do not squash the items in the bin, this can result in the waste being jammed and difficulty emptying
- Place waste inside the bin: extra bags or boxes will not be collected
- Place the bins side by side, not behind other bins
- Ensure bins are clear of parked cars
Top Recycling Tips
- Put the right items in your recycling bin otherwise it may not be collected
- Empty items before they go in the bin
- Squash bulky containers down. Lids can be recycled too; just screw them on to their containers
- Don't place items for recycling in a garbage or plastic bag - put them loose in the recycling bin
