Putting your bin out

By following these steps, you’ll help ensure your bin is collected efficiently without any issues.

Kerbside Bin Guidelines

Set Out Your Bin:

• Place your bin out before 6:00 AM on collection day.
• Ensure the bin is within 1 metre of the kerb, with the lid closed and the wheels facing your property.

Spacing Requirements:

• Leave at least 1 metre of clearance from other objects (e.g., parked cars, trees, light poles, or letterboxes).
• Keep bins 50cm apart so the truck arms can access them easily.

Avoid Common Issues:

• Do not overfill your bin — overflowing bins or bins with rubbish placed next to them will not be collected.
• Ensure your bin is no heavier than 80kg.
• If it’s difficult to wheel to the kerbside, it’s likely too heavy for the truck arm to lift.
• Only dispose of appropriate items to avoid contamination.

After Collection:

• Bring your bin in as soon as possible after it has been emptied.
