Wheelie Bin Service

3 bins

Wheelie Bin Overview

Our Wheelie Bin service is perfect for general waste, recycling, and green waste, with standard bin sizes of 140L and 240L (region-dependent).

We collect your waste and return the bin to the kerbside after pickup. Here’s what you need to know:

Service Guidelines

  • Bin placement and access

    Ensure your bin is placed at the kerbside by 7 am on the scheduled collection day. Position it with the opening facing the street and the wheels towards your property. Avoid placing bins near obstructions like parked cars, trees, or street poles.

  • Bin delivery and removal

    We aim to deliver your bin within 7 working days, depending on operational factors. Orders placed during weekends or public holidays will be processed on the next working day.

    If you wish to cancel, we strive to remove the bin within 7 working days. Requests made during weekends or public holidays will be processed the following working day. 

  • Using and caring for your bin

    To ensure your bin is used effectively and safely, please follow these important guidelines:

    • Only place accepted materials in the bin as per the specific guidelines
    • Ensure the bin lid closes fully, with no items protruding above the rim
    • Do not exceed the bin's weight limit (see "Weight Limits" below)
    • Avoid placing hazardous materials (e.g., asbestos, acids, paints), vaping devices, batteries, or hot embers/ashes in the bin
  • Contamination and weight limits

    Contamination

    If any prohibited or hazardous materials are found during collection, a contamination charge may apply. To avoid this, please follow the guidelines closely.

    Weight limits

    While filling your bin, please be mindful of its weight limit to ensure safe handling and efficient collection. Below are the maximum weight limits for each bin size:

    • 80L Bin: Max weight 30kg.
    • 140L Bin: Max weight 70kg.
    • 240L Bin: Max weight 80kg.
  • Scheduled collections

    Your bin will be emptied on the scheduled date or within three working days, unless otherwise communicated.

    If your collection day is a holiday, we'll pick up your bin on the holiday itself or the next day. Please put your bin out by 7 am on the holiday.

    We aim to notify you of any changes at least 48 hours in advance.

  • Extra collections

    Extra collections may be available in some areas for an additional charge. These collections will not affect your regular scheduled service but may be subject to availability, especially during public holidays.

    • Replacement bin charges: No charge for a replacement bin.
    • Missing bin replacement: If your bin is missing, contact us to arrange a delivery on the next available date.
