Commercial Waste Collections

Local businesses now have a more convenient, flexible, reliable and fully comprehensive waste collection & recycling service, helping our customers to save money and recycle more of their waste.


  • Important Notice
  • There will be changes to commercial waste collections over the Easter holidays. Please read information below.

Our Service

We offer a brown “organics” bin as part of our commercial service. 

All organic waste (i.e. food, garden and/or animal) must now be segregated from your existing trade waste receptacle and placed in the brown bins.  By keeping organic waste out of your existing bin, Council can achieve low waste treatment costs and reduce waste to landfill.

The items that can be recycled in the brown bins:

  • Food waste

  • Fruit

  • Flowers

  • Meat - raw/cooked

  • Teabags/coffee

  • Leaves/plants
