Grey waste bin
Your grey-lidded bin for non-recycling is collected fortnightly. Please make sure it is at the boundary of your property by 7am on your collection day.
We're now calling your waste bin the 'grey-lidded bin' rather than the 'black bin' as this best describes the colour of the plastic lid.
Its just a name change and no new bins are being issued. Please continue to use your current bin, we'll be collecting all your bins as usual.
