Step 3.Tips to ensure your bins are emptied

  • Put your bins out by 6am on collection day.
  • Face each bin with the wheels towards the house.
  • Place bins at least 30 cms apart.
  • Place bins 1 metre from parked cars, trees, stobie poles and letter boxes.
  • Place the right items in the right bin.
  • Be sure your waste is not packed too tightly.
  • Keep the weight under 60kg.

    Bins not returned to the property are a potential hazard to pedestrians and road users.
