Waste, recycling and rubbish

Go to
  • Information on cleaning, graffiti and infrastructure maintenance
  • Portal to report dumped rubbish
  • Portal to book hard rubbish collection
  • There are currently some disruptions to mixed recycling bin collections due to a driver shortage. If your mixed recycling bin hasn't been emptied, please leave it out for collection and we will empty it within 48 hours. Thank you for your patience.
