My Bin Day

Kerbside general waste (red lid wheelie) bins from properties within Mount Isa City are collected by J.J. Richards & Sons Pty Ltd on behalf of Mount Isa City Council. 

Wheelie bins have a serial number and are assigned to street addresses, they can be traced by this number. Please ensure that if you sell the property or move to another address, your wheelie bin remains at the address it is registered to. 

By the end of the year, Mount Isa City Council will implement the collection of recyclables. 

What is happening? 

From December 2024, Mount Isa will introduce a new 240L yellow recycling bin to help reduce landfill waste and create a valuable recycling stream.

IImplementing recycling in Mount Isa offers significant advantages including the reduction of QLD Levy costs, which will lead to substantial financial savings for the community in the coming years. Additionally, recycling helps to extend the lifespan of the local landfill, reducing the environmental impact and need for costly expansions.

Key details:

• Yellow recycling bins (240L) will be collected fortnightly.

• Red waste bins (general waste) will be collected weekly.

When you receive your yellow bin, you will find a starter kit inside, including a calendar, flyer, and helpful materials to get started.

Collection schedule:

• Check the map below to see if your yellow bin will be collected the week of 9th December or the week of 16th December.

• Bins will always be collected on the same day of the week. For example, if your collection day is Tuesday, the red bin will be collected every Tuesday, and the yellow bin will be collected every two weeks, starting Tuesday, 10th December.
