  • Make sure the collection truck can safely access the piles.
  • Keep items clear of trees, fences, sprinklers, vehicles, signs, power poles and power domes.
  • Do not block roads, footpaths, driveways, bin collection areas or neighbouring properties.
  • Do not place items on vacant land or public reserves.

Cottage blocks and properties without a standard verge

Where possible, place your hard waste where you normally leave your bins for collection.

If this is not possible, contact the Shire on 9526 1111 and select menu option 3 before placing your items out.

Collection allowances

Each eligible household receives two free collections each year. Allocations are renewed on 1 June and expire on 31 May the following year. Unused collections do not carry over.

If you place out more than 3m³, the additional waste may be counted as your second free collection. The Shire will contact you if another collection needs to be booked or paid for.

To ask about an additional paid collection, call 9526 1111 and select menu option 3.
