Public holiday services 

Residential bins and green waste collections

We encourage all residents to place their household bins on the kerb the day before collection day to make sure we can access your bins. Alternatively, please ensure bins are out by 6.00am on your service day and are 500mm away from obstacles like cars, trees, and posts.

As Christmas Day, Boxing Day, and New Year's Day fall during the week, your bin may be collected later than usual:

• For Christmas week, collections scheduled for Wednesday 25 December will be collected on Thursday 26 December. Thursday and Friday collections that week will occur the day after your regular schedule
• For New Year's week, collections scheduled for Wednesday 1 January 2025 will be collected on Thursday 2 January. Thursday and Friday collections will also occur the day after your regular schedule
• Green waste collections will cease on Monday 16 December 2024 and resume on Monday 6 January 2025. Residents in Area 4 Inglewood can place their green waste on the verge between 29 December and 6 January 2025.

For the full public holiday collection schedule, please visit the Christmas in the City page.
