Rural and Residential properties paying for a waste service also receive a Twice Yearly Clean Up Collection. To view when your next clean up will be and what zone you are in, please visit our Lookup Your Clean Up Details page.
Collection Requirements
- Collection times can vary due to changes in schedules.
- Check there are no obstacles which would limit access to your bins by the collection vehicle.
- Ensure that cars are not parked in the turning areas of a cul-de-sac or road on a service day.
- Bins can be placed on the kerb 48 hours before your service and up to 24 hours after the service. After 24 hours, the bins must be removed from the kerb and placed back onto your property.
