Kerbside waste and recycling services

Waste and recycling bins should be placed out the night before your collection day. Bins should be kept half a metre apart and no further than one metre from the kerbside.

Northern Grampians Shire Council general local laws prescribe:

  • A waste or recycling bin awaiting collection of its contents must not be placed on a road, or on any other municipal place, more than 24 hours prior to the collection day.
  • A waste or recycling bin must be removed from a road or any other municipal place within 24 hours of the collection day.
  • The owner or occupier of the premises must remove any materials which have spilled from the property’s waste or recycling bin onto a road, or any other municipal place.
