Household waste and bins

Waste facilities' holiday hours: December 2024

All waste facilities will close early on Christmas Eve, 24 December 2024 at 12pm. We're also closed on Christmas Day and New Years Day. Our normal operating hours will apply outside of these days.

Council provides residents in the domestic collection area with three bins:

  • a red-lidded general waste bin collected weekly
  • a yellow-lidded recycling bin collected fortnightly
  • a green-lidded garden organics bin collected fortnightly.

If your property is within the domestic collection area, you can take part in our yearly clean-outs for hazardous household chemicals and junk items too bulky for the household bin.

You can also take waste to our waste management facilities at Surf Beach, Moruya and Brou.
