Kerbside collection remains unchanged

Isaac Regional Council would like to advise residents kerbside bin collection is business as usual, including public holidays, in the region.

Here’s some residential bin day reminder tips:

Remember to place bins at the kerb by 6am on collection day Leave at least 1m between bins Ensure lids are fully closed Ensure bins weigh less than 80kg

While residents are spending more time at home, Council is reminding residents to hold onto non-urgent waste for now unless it is essential, adhering to health and safety directions.

Our Waste Management Facilities are currently experiencing extensive wait times, as our dedicated and hard-working staff are committed to keeping you safe and adhering to COVID-19 related requirements.

In the meantime, when it comes to preparing for bin days, please remember what to place in the red lid bin:

General household waste Non-recyclable plastic Green waste

For the yellow lid bin, the following recycling tips are to remove lids, rinse containers & place items loosely then place the following:

Cardboard boxes need to be crushed and torn to prevent jamming All rigid plastic containers, milk, juice, soft drink and detergent bottles Glass bottles and jars Newspapers, magazines, paper and telephone books Aerosol, aluminium and steel cans
