Kerbside service information
Council will gradually be introducing red lids to our general household waste bins.
Residential properties within the Council’s Declared Waste Service Area shall be provided with a minimum domestic waste collection service as follows:

| 1 x 240L dark green or red lidded wheelie bin | General household waste | Weekly |
