Collection Conditions

Council has now moved to a recycling system.
If your collection is co-mingled (what would normally go in your yellow bin), your materials will not be collected.

• Kerbside Clean Up is for Hay Township only.
• Sort your items into separate piles so they can be collected by different trucks. This makes it easier for us to maximise the amount of items that are recycled. Council will be collecting these items separately because each item requires a different recycling process. Separating the items means we can recycle more and send less to landfill.
• Council Kerbside Clean Up is provided for large/bulky items only. Please dispose of smaller items in one of your three kerbside rubbish bins.
• Materials/items must be placed on the kerbside nature strip in front of your property the night before the scheduled collection, don’t put your items out earlier than this as passers-by may add to the pile.
• Don’t place items behind trees or vehicles that could prevent our drivers from seeing them. We won’t collect or move items from inside your property, including your driveway, porch or front yard. If your items are not placed on the nature strip and accessible, they will not be collected.
• Material must not obstruct footpaths, walkways or disrupt pedestrian travel.
• We have the right to refuse collection of any item that has the potential to harm the operator, equipment or the environment.
