According to Council’s website, bins should be placed on the kerbside by 6am on your collection day.

More helpful information:

Bins are on the kerbside (not the gutter or road) with the opening facing the road by 6am on your collection day.
Bins are left at least one (1) metre apart from each other.
Bins are not overfilled. The lid must close properly.
Bins do not weigh more than 75kg.
There are no cars, trees or overhead wires blocking access to your bins.
Bin/s are only placed out 24 hours prior to your collection day and retrieved within 24 hours after collection.

Division 7 Councillor Darren Everard said Council’s waste collection contractor, Cleanaway has reviewed its routes and schedules to ensure the Fraser Coast’s growing community continues to receive a reliable and efficient service.

“To ensure a smooth changeover there will also be a two-week transition period where bins will be collected on the new day as well as the old day just to make sure no one is missed,” Cr Everard said.
