If you have your green bin scheduled for collection today, please put it out.
If you have your yellow bin scheduled for collection today, please note it will not be collected.
If your suburb was affected by the cancellation on Thursday 6 and Friday 7 March, catch-up collections are running today and continuing today and tomorrow. Please leave your red-lidded bin out and drivers will endeavour to pick it up.
Safety is council’s first priority and these initiatives are weather dependent.
Residents who need to use these centres today are asked to use common sense in terms of the wind and rain and driving on our roads. If it is too hazardous, delay going to our centres until it is safe to do so
