If you don't have a green waste bin, from 20 April to 28 April, we will be delivering a new green bin along with a kitchen caddy and helpful information about the new food and garden bin service.
For all other households who do have a green waste bin, from 1 May to 9 June we will be replacing the current red lid and replacing it with a new lime green bin lid, and also delivering a kitchen caddy and helpful information about the new food and garden bin service.
Once you get your new bin or your bin lid has changed, you can add food scraps to your bin.
The new lime green lid will comply with Australian standards and have helpful information about what does and does not go into the bin. The old red lids will be recycled into new bins.
Please put your green waste bin out on your regular collection day, even if it is empty, and keep it out until 6 pm so we can replace the lid. This job will take time so if your bin lid is not changed, please put it out in the next fortnight until 9 June. If your lid hasn't been changed by then, please call us on 9298 8000 and we'll arrange for it to be replaced.
Kitchen caddies will be either attached to the bin or, if your bin is full when we deliver them, placed beside the bin or letterbox.
The green bin will continue to be collected fortnightly until end June.
From July, we will collect the green bin with the stinky stuff, weekly and your household rubbish bin fortnightly.
There will be no change to your recycling bin or bundled branch collection.
