Household Organics, Garbage and Recycling Collections

Council offers its residents a weekly organic waste (food and garden waste) collection service and a fortnightly landfill waste (rubbish) and recycling collection service. The annual cost of these services for the 2019-2020 financial year is $552.00. These charges are added on to the annual rates notices of all properties receiving the collection services.

Properties within township areas of the shire receive compulsory organic waste, garbage and recycling collection services.

Organic waste, garbage and recycling collection services are optional for properties located outside of township areas.

The provision of a 120 Litre Mobile Organics Bin, 120 litre Mobile Garbage Bin and a 240 litre Mobile Recycling Bin is incorporated into the collection service charges. These bins remain the property of Council and must remain at the property address they are allocated to.

Cancellation of Services

Collection services to properties located outside of Township areas can be cancelled by completing a Cancel You Bins form. Council will consider each request and advise applicants of the outcome. Please note, if you wish to cancel your bin service, all three bins will be cancelled.

Services to properties within Township areas cannot be cancelled.

Things to Remember

Please put your bins out on the roadside the night before your allocated collection day
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.
