To avoid interruption to your kerbside collection service, please ensure that you prepare for your collection days by:
- Placing your bins on the kerbside by 5.45am on the day of collection;
- Positioning bins with at least 1m between them;
- Positioning the wheels of the bin towards your property;
- Positioning your bin at least 1m away from overhanging branches or other obstructions
- Ensuring there are no contaminating items in your recycling bin (eg. plastic bags, clothing, garden waste etc.)
- Ensuring your bin is not overfilled (lid should be able to close) or overly heavy; and
- Contacting Council within 48 hours if your bin has not been collected.
