Kerbside Bin Placement

The collection vehicles used to collect your bins have a driver-only mechanical lifting arm.

It's important to place your bin at the kerbside to assist with the collection process.

We recommend you:
  • Place your bin close to and facing the kerb, with the bin’s wheels nearest to the house.
  • Ensure that there is half a metre of clearance between each bin.
  • Ensure your bin is not placed under a tree or other overhead obstructions and is at least one metre away from power poles, street signs or other objects that may hinder pick up.
  • Allow at least one metre between your bin and any parked cars as the mechanical arm will not be able to pick up bins from behind parked cars.
  • Ensure your bin lid is closed and that the bin is not overfull.
  • Do not place extra items next to the bin as these cannot be collected.
  • Do not compress the contents of each bin (that is, stomp it down to get more in, etc).
