Organics are collected weekly starting at 7.30am using lime green-top wheelie bins. Collection day is the same day of the week as your rubbish.
There is a weight restriction of 60 kg's on the bins. If your bin is too heavy the contractor will place a sticker on the bin informing you why it was not emptied. Please ensure that grass clippings are dry when they are put in the bin as they sweat and compact down adding to the weight.
To request a lime green-top organic wheelie bin contact our Helpline by following the link to the left.

How to use your bin |
|
Put your organics bin on the footpath, grass verge or berm closest to where the collection vehicle passes. The bin should be clear of trees and other obstructions. Place the bin facing the road. The arrows on the lid indicate the correct placement. Allow half a metre between adjacent bins and/or obstructions. |
Make sure you don't overfill your bin - the lid must be closed for collection. Extra items placed next to or on top of the bin will not be collected. To help keep the bin clean you can place a couple of sheets of old newspaper or a handfill of dry garden waste in the bottom of the bin. Only place food scraps, garden trimmings, weeds and grass clippings in the bin. |
