Waste & Recycling Guide

Residents receive weekly general waste and alternating fortnightly recycling and green waste bin collection services. 

Bin collection days for each area can be found in the Town's Waste & Recycling Guide.

The guide also provides information on what to do with your waste and the dates for verge collections.

The Town encourages residents to reduce landfill by reusing, recycling and repurposing where possible.

Each property owner receives a hard copy of the Waste & Recycling Guide with their rates which includes tip passes.
