Find my bin collection day
Use our collection day map and calendar to see when bins are collected.
Project Status: When you need to do this
If you live in a house or an apartment in our area you need to put your bins out on the correct day:
- Collections for both rubbish (red lid) and recycling bins (yellow lid) occur weekly or sometimes several times a week for larger and high-rise apartment buildings.
- We'll collect your garden organics (green lid) bin every second week on the same day as your red lid and yellow lid bin.
- Bins are emptied any time from 6am to 6pm on the collection day.
- Bins will be collected on all public holidays including Christmas and New Year’s Day.
What you need to do
-
Work out your collection day
- If you live in a house or small apartment block, you can enter your street address in the search bar or zoom into the map to find your collection day and download a collection day calendar.
- If you live in an apartment, confirm your collection day with your building manager.
- If you're a building manager or caretaker of a larger or high-rise apartment building, please call us to confirm your collection days. Your bins may be collected 2 or 3 times a week.
- If you're participating in the food scraps recycling trial, check your collection day.
Please note this map shows your collection day and calendar for rubbish, recycling and garden organics bins only.

Prepare your bins for collection
- Place bins out the night before collection day. Bins should be near the kerb, where they won’t block pedestrian, bicycle or vehicle access.
- Place all waste in your bins. Extra rubbish and bags left next to the bin won’t be collected.
- Don’t overfill your bin – make sure the lid closes easily. Overfilled bins are hard to empty, and spilled litter attracts pests and vermin.
- Don’t pack bins too tightly. Collection vehicles won't pick up heavy bins.
- Bring bins back in within 24 hours of collection and store them on your property. Bins left on the street or footpath can be a safety hazard, or create litter when accidentally knocked over.
