Waste and recycling collection days

Tuesday 1 July 2025 - Early waste collections

Due to the high temperatures forecast, waste collections will start two hours earlier than usual on Tuesday 1 July. This is to protect our crews during the heat.

Please put your bins and containers out and ready for collection by 5am on your collection day.

You can use our online tool to look up your recycling and rubbish collection days.

You can also download a six-month collection calendar for your collection zone.

What we collect and how often

Putting your recycling and rubbish out

We will collect your recycling and rubbish anytime between 7am and 5pm on your collection day. 

We may start collections earlier during hot weather (5am if it's going to be 33°C or above, 6am if it's going to be 28°C or above). This is to help prevent crews being exposed to peak temperatures later in the day.

You should place your containers on the front boundary of your property, in a place clearly visible and accessible from (but not on) the pavement.

You need to put out the correct items in the correct containers. If you place the wrong items in the wrong box, we will not collect your recycling.
