Collection of your household kerbside bins have recommenced for areas that are safe for drivers to access.
Your regular collection day will remain the same. If your bin is not collected on the usual day please leave it out for an additional two days. We are working extended hours to collect your bins. For residents who had their kerbside bin collection missed on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday this week, Council will be collecting all three bins next week. Please put your red, yellow and green lid bins out ALL TOGETHER for your next collection.This will help reduce the flow-on effect of excess rubbish in the bins following missed collections earlier this week due to the flood emergency.After this collection, the schedule will return to normal with the green lid and yellow lid bins alternating each week and the red lid bin collected weekly.If you’re not sure which bins need to be put out the following week, check via our website. If your bin is too full it can be emptied at your nearest Resource Recovery Centre (see below). If you have household flood waste on your naturestrip, please ensure you maintain a 1 metre clearance around your kerbside bins so they can be collected. Please do not put sandbags in your kebside collection bins - they will make the bins too heavy to lift.Please show kindness and respect to the drivers and understand they will be unable to enter floodwaters or drive on unsafe roads. The team are operating with reduced staff and are members of our community who have also been impacted by the floods.
If the Resource Recovery Centre closest to you is currently not open, please keep an eye out for information on when normal services and operating times will resume.
