Green garden organics bin
Green 240L garden organics bins are collected fortnightly and processed at Veolia Resource Recovery Park.
The maximum weight limit is 70kg.
To ensure collections bins must be placed out the night before collection as bins can be collected as early as 6am due to operational reasons.

Additional garden organics information:
Currently, we do not offer a Food and Garden Organics (FOGO) service. However, we are planning to introduce this service by 2027 as part of our new waste management contract. This aligns with the NSW Government's goals outlined in the National Waste Policy Action Plan.
If you need an additional bin for garden organics, you can purchase one from the Council for a fee. Please contact us for more details.
Residents can also dispose of excess garden waste at our Green Waste Drop Off Days, which are held at various locations throughout our local government area.
