Kerbside Bin Collection Services

 

From September 2025, all properties within the serviced Inzone (outside the CBD) receive a three‑bin, fortnightly kerbside collection service, included in property rates and delivered by Council’s contractor Veolia.

The service is designed to reduce landfill by diverting recycling and FOGO, with optimised routes that balance minimising cost with maximising the number of properties serviced.

Collections alternate fortnightly: 

  • Week 1: Green‑lid FOGO bin

  • Week 2: Red‑lid Landfill bin and Yellow‑lid Recycling bin together.

Everything in your red‑lid bin goes to landfill, so diverting waste to recycling and FOGO makes a real difference.

Preparing waste

  • Place waste loosely in bins so they can empty safely
  • Do not place sharp or hazardous items in bins
  • Allow hot materials to cool completely before disposal

Your safety matters when moving bins to the kerb, Know your limits

  • On slopes or uneven ground: aim for 30–50 kg maximum
  • On flat, smooth surfaces: bins should not exceed 70 kg (including bin weight)


Safer handling tips

  • Push rather than pull where possible
  • Use both hands and keep the bin close to your body
  • Take extra care on steep gradients
  • Do not move a bin if it feels unsafe for you

These steps protect you, your neighbours, and collection crews.
