How to put your bins out


The pictures below outline what is expected of residents when it comes to placing your bin out for collection. These pictures apply to detached houses and townhouses.

Place bins near the kerb with the wheels towards the house. Leave about 500mm (about two feet) between your bins when you place more than one at the kerb.

Avoid placing bins where trees, poles or parked cars could obstruct collection. To avoid spillage, please ensure that your bin is not over full and that the lid is properly closed.
Please do not put bins on the road or gutter as this makes them prone to damage and a hazard to vehicles. Loose rubbish will not be collected by Council's contractors. Please return your bins to your property as soon as is possible following collection to avoid them being stolen or damaged as costs can be incurred for replacement.
