Rural Waste and Recycling Collection Calendar

Calendar

Red lids: Waste (garbage) bins in rural areas will be emptied on the weeks highlighted in red.

Yellow lids: Recycling bins in rural areas will be emptied on the weeks highlighted in yellow.

Please Note: Rural waste and recycling bins should not be left at the roadside. Please make sure you return your bins to your property as soon as possible after collection.

Waste Collection Times

Please ensure your waste bin is placed out the night before it is due to be collected.

Bins will be collected between 6.00am and 2.00pm on your nominated collection day. In some cases heavy traffic, breakdowns or accidents may mean your bin is collected later in the day. Please wait until after 2.00 PM to report a missed bin.

If your bin is missed, please telephone 6687 0455.

Collections take place as usual on all public holidays.
