Missed bin service
General waste or recycling bins may be missed for a number of reasons. As from 1 July 2012, residents may have a change to their household waste and recycling wheelie bin collection times from July 2012.
Where possible the contractor may place a sticker onto the bin or leave a note under the lid to indicate why the bin wasn't serviced.
Reasons for a missed service:
- Bin wasn't on the kerbside for service between 6.00am - 6.00pm
- Truck may have a change in routes, full load to empty, roadworks impeding access
- Incorrect recycling week
- Incorrect service day
- Bin is overfull - lid must be closed when on the kerbside (if too full take out excess waste and replace after bin has been serviced. Break up large items to fit within the bin)
- Bin is contaminated with hazardous or unsuitable waste, see kerbside bins
- Contents of the bin jammed
- Bin is too heavy - lifting arm of garbage truck is only permitted to lift up to 40kg
- Bin is not a Council issued or rated bin
Council must be advised within 2 working days (from the day of service) of a missed bin.
