Collections will take place in the week following these dates.
Please pile scrap metal and e-waste separate to hard rubbish.
Please wrap any glass to ensure it can be collected safely.
Please note elected start date may take several weeks to be collected.
No bookings are required for this service.
While collections have previously taken place in November and December, this is a new service for all residents, regardless of whether you own or rent your property.
Why is it starting now and not sooner?
This is a new service to replace the booking system that was previously in place. Council introduced this service as part of the 2022/23 Budget, which came into effect in July 2022.
A tender process was then undertaken to select a contractor to deliver the service, which was awarded at Council’s November meeting.
Since then, we have been working with the contractor to plan the service to ensure it meets the needs of the community. Collection dates and locations for 2023 for other parts of the municipality will be provided in the coming weeks.
