Bin service types

We offer bin services based on the township you're in, if you live in a rural area and property type such as a commercial premise.

If you live within a designated waste collection area, generally a township, we offer a three-bin kerbside collection service (rubbish, recycling and green organics) along with a kitchen organics caddy.

If you live within a rural area along the approved waste collection route, you will have access to a two-bin kerbside collection service (rubbish and recycling).

Any commercial premise within a designated waste collection area may also opt to access the two-bin service by contacting our waste contractor Solo Resource Recovery on 8295 5077 or alternatively complete their online enquiry form.

Your red lid bin (140L) is for all household rubbish that can't be placed into your recycling or green organics bin.

This service is mandatory for all residential properties located within the council area. An exemption is available to properties when Solo Resource Recovery has determined that collection is not possible.

Please be mindful that everything that goes into this bin will go to landfill, so it’s important to recycle as much as possible. Please bag your garbage to help reduce litter.

Your green lid bin (240L) is for green organic material such as grass clippings, flowers, leaves, shrubs, prunings and food scraps.

From 1 July 2021 green organic services became mandatory for properties within certain townships in an effort to reduce the amount of waste going to landfill.

More information on how to best utilise the green organics bin is available - find out more on green waste.

Your yellow lid bin (240L) is for co-mingled recycling materials that reduce the amount of waste going to landfill.

This service is mandatory for all residential properties located within the Council area. An exemption is available to properties when Solo Resource Recovery has determined that collection is not possible.

Please ensure items placed within this bin are loose; this helps to sort and recycle items efficiently at the recycling facility. Please empty the contents of all containers etc. before placing them in the bin, there is no need to rinse them though.

Please do not put the following items into the yellow recycling bins:

• Plastic bags
• e-waste
• Clothing
• Food and liquids
• Polystyrene/foam
• Shredded paper
• Toughened glass
• Nappies
• Paint and building materials
