Rural waste collection

Bins and collection

Our rural waste service includes:

  • one 240 litre red lid landfill bin serviced every fortnight
  • one 240 litre yellow lid recycling bin serviced every fortnight.

Collected on alternate weeks.

Tips to ensure your bins are collected:

  • by 6am on your collection day, or the night before, place your bins on the kerb (unless instructed otherwise) 
  • face wheels away from the kerb
  • keep your bins free from obstacles such as cars, trees, and power poles
  • bins must not weight more than 80kgs
  • it is the resident's responsibility to clean and maintain bins
  • all waste must be inside bins and lid must be completely closed
  • return your bin to your property the same day of the scheduled collection service.

Service is subject to application and approval by Council.  To request a rural waste service, Council's Waste Services on (02) 4237 5148

As a rural property owner, you have the option to order and pay for an additional rural waste service.

An initial bin establishment fee (per bin) is payable upfront and the annual Rural Waste Management Charge will be applied to your annual rates.

If a rural waste service can be provided, an initial bin establishment fee is payable upfront, per bin.
