Green waste

We offer an optional green waste collection service. Residents registered for this service will receive a wheelie bin with a bright green lid. Only green waste is to be placed in this bin. Green waste is collected fortnightly on the same day as household garbage.

These items should be placed into your green waste bin:

• leaf litter;
• fruit and vegetable peelings;
• grass clippings;
• small prunings; 
• weeds; and 
• small branches.

These items should not be placed into your green waste bin:

• stumps, large branches, timber or garden stakes;
• table scraps, meat, fish or animal waste;
• string, twine, or wire;
• nappies;
• hazardous liquids or chemical waste;
• paint, pesticides, oil or solvents;
• motor oil or containers;
• syringes;
• plastic bags;
• garbage;
• soil, stones, bricks or concrete; and
• recyclables.
