Rubbish and recycling

May Holidays

There are no changes to your refuse or recycling collections over the holiday weekends.  Your bins will be collected on their usual day.  

Please present your bin by 7am on the day of collection.

If your bin hasn't been collected on your collection date, there are a number of other possible reasons:

  • We've missed your bin.
  • Your bin wasn't at the collection point by 7.00am.
  • Your bin had unsuitable items in it.

If we did not uplift your bin because you have incorrect items in it, please remove these items and present on your next collection day for that colour of bin.

If we have missed you bin in error, please let us know.
