Bin Requests & Reports
All residential properties in the Town are provided with a 120L general waste bin (red lid) and 240L recycling bin (yellow lid) as a standard service.
If the standard service does not meet the needs of your family there are options available to you to vary your bins to match your requirements.
Missed, delayed or incomplete empties can be reported to VEOLIA Customer Service on 1300 761 908 and a return collection should be completed within five working days of your report.
Bin repairs and alterations will occur on Tuesdays and Thursdays as per the Town's maintenance contract with VEOLIA.
If you report a damaged bin, you may receive a secondhand, but still serviceable, bin in return.
