- Ensure your bins are not overfilled.
- Place your bins at least 50cm apart to enable automated collection
- Ensure your bins are placed clear of any obstructions (parked cars, trees, power poles etc)
- Collection trucks can not manoeuvre adequately to collect bins around "court bowls". If you live at the end of a court, please place your bins along the straight section of the road.
