All households receive ONE FREE home collection of up to 3 CUBIC METRES of hard waste. Plus one of the following extra options:

• An additional home collection of up to 3 cubic metres

• Two visits to the Resource Recovery Centre (tip) in either a single axle trailer, car boot, van, station wagon, 4WD or ute

• One visit to the Resource Recovery Centre (tip) in a double axle (tandem) trailer

Hard rubbish entitlements cannot be carried forward to the following year, so book early to avoid disappointment.

On Bin Day

If you live in a court, our drivers will place yellow dots in the areas to place your bins. This will assist us in safely collecting your bins.

Did you know you need to place your bins side by side leaving at least 60cm (an arm’s length) between the bins and other objects?

Bins should also be placed within one metre of the kerb with the wheels facing away from the road.

Collection Map - How to use the maps

When is my collection date?

Find the area you live in on the previous pages. Match the colour on the map where you live to the calendar below.

Your garbage is collected every week on the day listed and the calendar shows the dates for your recycling collection. Your organics bin will be collected on the alternate fortnight to your recycling bin.

For example, if you live in Sunbury you can check the Sunbury map for the area you live in. If you live in the northern areas of Sunbury your garbage collection will be a Wednesday each week and your recycling collection will be a Wednesday Week 2 collection - so follow the dark purple schedule in the calendar below.

The calendar on the following page can be used as a quick reference guide and be placed on your fridge.

If you are unsure of when your collection day visit ‘Know your bin day’ on the Council’s website.
