Your Organics Bin – Your Organics Bin

What Bins Should You Put Out for Collection Each Week?

Your bin is collected fortnightly at the kerbside on the opposite week to your yellow-lid recycling bin, on your regular garbage collection day. This means you put two bins out for collection each week. One week it will be your garbage and organics bins, and the following week will be your garbage and recycling bins.

How to Place Your Bins at the Kerb

Place your bins out the night before or by 5.00am on your collection day.
Position your bins on the kerbside with the wheels facing the house.
Allow a full metre of space between bins, poles, trees, and parked cars where possible.
Make sure the lid on your bin is completely closed to avoid spillage and there are no items next to or on top of the bin.
Put your organics bin out for collection each fortnight even if it is only partially full.
Return your bins to your property as soon as possible after they have been emptied.
