The following requirements apply for kerbside wheelie bin collection:
- There must be sufficient space for servicing of all bins without impacting pedestrian movement along the footpath or driver sight-lines at vehicle crossover points onto a property.
- The bin collection area must be free of obstructions, so the driver of the collection vehicle does not have to get out of the vehicle.
- There is a minimum space of one metre between bins.
- The bin collection area is not within or adjacent to intersections, roundabouts, traffic calming devices and bus stops.
- The bin collection area is not on a driveway or in front of any other property.
Contact Council if waste collection vehicles are required to enter a property to service the bins. A member of Council's waste services team and the waste contractor will need to assess your request.
If you live on a no-through road, cul-de-sac or in a new staged subdivision or multi-residential property, turnaround facilities should be provided for the safe manoeuvring of waste collection vehicles. If reversing is required, vehicles are expected not to reverse more than 10 metres where possible for safety reasons. Residents are requested not to park within or near designated turnaround facilities to ensure clear access.
