Your rubbish and recycling is collected on the same day each week. 
Bags and recycling bins must be out by 7am to ensure collection.

Rubbish collection days

Put your bag and bin at the kerbside (out near the road) before 7am on the morning of your collection. Remember to put the correct number of stickers on your bag(s).

Public holidays

Rubbish and recycling is still collected on statutory and public holidays that occur on a week day. 

Bags and recycling bins must be out by 7am to ensure collection.

How you should sort it

Rubbish goes in your own bag with the correct number of stickers.

You should recycle your kitchen scraps for compost or try a worm farm.

How many stickers do ratepayers get and when?

Ratepayers on the collection route are sent 13 stickers with their rates invoice.  This is one sticker per week.

You can use plastic or paper bags, or a bag inside a rubbish bin. Make sure you tie the bag up and put the correct number of stickers on the bag.
