Bin Collection Checklist

• Put your bins out the night before collection day
• Place bins near the kerb with handles facing away from the road
• Leave 50cm between bins, trees or street lights
• Keep 1m spacing between bins and the car
• Make sure the bin lid can close and do not fill to more than 70kg - this weight limit applies for all bin sizes
• Bring your bins back to your property within 24 hours of collection
• Do not squash the items in the bin, this can result in the waste being jammed and difficulty emptying
• Place waste inside the bin: extra bags or boxes will not be collected
• Place the bins side by side, not behind other bins
• Place bins clear from overhead wires and trees
• Do not place batteries or items containing batteries in your kerbside bins. Batteries pose serious health and safety issues, such as leaching toxic chemicals to the environment and starting fires. Dispose of the safely via a battery recycling drop off point. Visit Other Recycling and Disposal Options for locations.
