| Strathbogie Shire Council has offered a kerbside recycling service to the municipality’s townships and some rural areas in an attempt to reduce the amount of waste throughout the Shire and provide for future environmental sustainability. This area deals specifically with issues of recycling in Strathbogie Shire including how to present recyclable waste and what items are recyclable.
The key components of our recycling service are as follows:
| |
 | Kerbside recycling rubbish shall be placed in a blue 240 litre wheelie bin with a yellow lid. | | No separation of recycled rubbish needs to take place. | | Recycling collections are undertaken fortnightly. | | Recycling collections take place on the same day as garbage collection services.
|
|
|
| Placement of Recycling Bins
Recycling bins should be placed at the kerbside at least 1 metre away from your smaller garbage wheelie bin.
Recycling bins will be emptied between 6.00am and 4.00pm on the prescribed day and must be at the kerbside before the recycling truck arrives.
Bins presented late will not be emptied.
If you currently have a garbage/waste pickup, please complete the application on this site for a recycling service.

| Charges
A kerbside recycling charge of $56.00 (per service) applies to residential properties for 2006/07.
