Waste and recycling

Christmas / New Year collection changes

Waste and recycling collections will not occur on the Christmas Day and New Year public holidays. On these days, collections will occur a day later than usual (Saturday 26 Dec 202 and Saturday 2 January 2021).

Normal waste and recycling collections will resume on 4 January 2021.

We offer several options for recycling, composting and waste disposal. Services include kerbside bin collections, organics alternatives, hard waste and mattress collections and a range of other services to support you.

Fortnightly green organics bin collections have started. You can pick up free compostable bags from any of our council offices until 30 November 2020.
