Meander Valley Council working together

Residents are advised that all plastics with a number between 1 and 5, steel, aluminium, paper and cardboard can be deposited loose into your recycling bin - please do not enclose your recycling in plastic bags as this creates time losses at the recycling sorting centre. It is also important that no rubbish or green waste is to be placed in your recycling bin as one bin load of garbage will contaminate a truck load of recycling with the consequences that the whole load may have to be dumped at a refuse disposal site. Repeat offences of this practice will lead to a cessation of collection from the property in question.

As a reminder to residents, the bin with the RED LID is for your weekly garbage collection and the bin with the YELLOW LID is for your fortnightly recycling collection. Please use your garbage bin for household refuse only. Building rubble, soil and rocks are not to be placed in the bins as they create too much weight and the truck's arm is unable to pick the bin up.

Please have your garbage/recycling out before 6.00am on the nominated day.

Application forms for wheelie bins, as well as details on how the collection service operates and how to use your bins, can be obtained by telephoning the Customer Service Centre on 6393 5300.
