Weekly recycling over the festive season is happening again!
This festive season, Council will again be offering weekly collections of the yellow lid recycling bins for 4 weeks, starting from Monday 11 December 2023 until Friday 5 January 2024.
Council is excited to provide this service to help residents deal with the high amounts if recycling during this time. It is important to keep valuable resources out of landfill and recycle as much as possible.
How does it work?
Yellow lid recycling bins will be collected on a weekly basis starting Monday 11 December 2023 until Friday 5 January 2024 inclusive. During this period you can place your yellow lid recycling bin out with your red lid garbage bin for collection each week on your normal collection day.
Your green lid garden organics bin service will continue as normal on a fortnightly service during this period.
From Monday 8 January 2024, the yellow lid recycling bin collection returns to the normal fortnightly collection.
