Bin Placement
The trucks have a mechanical lifting arm, so bins need to be placed to ensure the mechanical arm can reach and lift. Please place bins near the kerb or roadside with the wheels nearest to the house or property.
Avoid placing your bins too close to trees or light poles, behind parked cars or with the wheels facing the wrong way. Please leave half a metre between each bin to allow space for the mechanical arm to lift each bin.
Please leave half a metre between each bin to allow space for the mechanical arm to lift each bin.
If you live in a court, Council encourages residents in court situations to place bins along the straight section of the street for safety reasons and to improve collection efficiency
