All  properties that receive a garbage collection are provided with 240 litre  bins for recycling.

Recyclables are collected fortnightly. Over the summer holiday period between Christmas and the end of January, there will be a weekly recycling collection.  Please visit our kerbside collection page, which includes a calendar of collection days and information on bin placement.
You can also deposit your household recyclables at any of Council's Waste Transfer Stations and Recycling Centres, free of charge, during normal opening hours (PDF 227kb).

• Aluminium - Including cans, foil pie dishes etc.
• Metal - All steel food cans eg. soup, pet food, baby food and any empty aerosol cans.
• Paper - Paper items including cardboard, newspapers, magazines, telephone books, cards etc.

All of these items should be placed loose in your bin.  Do not bundle papers or put recyclables in plastic bags.
