Recycling Collection

• Waste Service Changes are coming from September 2025 - (19 June 2025)

Depending on where you live, your annual rates cover a fortnightly recycling collection. From September 2025, all properties within the new Inzone (outside of the CBD) will be included in the regional 3-bin fortnightly collection service.

Fantastic, if you are on this page that means you care about our environment and want to make a difference. Well done!

Here are a few basics about recycling services...

• Keep track of which week is recycling by downloading the Recycling Week calendar(PDF, 76KB)
• Please place your bin out the night before your collection day
