How to put your bin out for collection

Your recycling and general waste bins are collected alternatively each fortnight, on the same day as your rubbish bin collection.

Place your bins on the verge before 6 am on the day of your collection. Bins must be:

• Within 1m of the kerb (or as close as possible without obstructing the footpath)
• 1m away from obstacles (including street trees, parked cars, signs, lamp posts and parked cars)
• Half a metre apart
• At a weight less than 35kg for 120L rubbish bins
• For 240L rubbish bins, the weight should be less than 70kg.

Bins are only permitted on the verge 24 hours before and after collection.

Bins are to be stored so as not to be visible from the street or public place except for bin collection day.
Please ensure rubbish bins are not overfilled and the lids are closed.
