Garbage Collection

Do you need to know when to put your bin out?  Check out the Collection Map now live on NWRRR website

Bins should be placed on the kerbside the night before collection and removed from kerbside and into the property as soon as practical after collection.

Contamination or bin audits may be undertaken by Council to contribute to its understanding or user's waste and resource recovery practices.

  • Timing: Place your General Waste, Recycling, and FOGO bins on the kerb the night before collection day or by 6am on the day of collection.
  • Bin Requirements: Only council-provided bins will be emptied. Foreign bins will not be serviced.
  • Additional Services: For additional bins, upsized bins, or bin repairs/replacements, please contact the council.
