Turning Christmas on its head

Christmas Day falls on a Wednesday this year so some rubbish and recycling collections will be one day later than usual.

• Monday and Tuesday collections will be collected as normal.

• If your usual collection day is Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, collection will take place a day later than usual. See the table below for full details.

• The changes apply for two weeks over the Christmas – New Year period.

Please place your recycling bins and bags on the roadside in a location where our drivers can see them clearly. If you leave the area prior to collection day or have extra, you can drop your official rubbish bags and recycling at any Resource Recovery Centre free of charge.

Make sure you do not overfill your recycling bin or glass crate, or it will not be collected. If you need a second crate for glass, you can buy one from a Council office or Resource Recovery Centre for $20. Because this is a busy time of year our contractor will have extra vehicles on the road and will be starting early. Please remember to have your rubbish and recycling out by 7.00 am and please take care when passing our collection vehicles.
