WHEELIE BIN SERVICE INFORMATION<br />
Each bin has a serial number and is assigned to<br />
a property (not the owner/tenant).<br />
It remains the property of Council. If you move<br />
house, the bins must stay at the property.<br />
Please report any loss or damage to Council<br />
on 6211 8200, or e-mail kc@kingborough.tas.<br />
gov.au. Council will arrange for the bin(s) to be<br />
repaired or replaced. Council may impose a fee<br />
for replacing stolen wheelie bins, if there was a<br />
previous loss from that property.<br />
Upgrading your Wheelie Bin<br />
Household waste (collected weekly)<br />

charge added to the rates notice. All upgrades<br />

Household recycling (collected fortnightly)<br />
The standard wheelie bin size for household<br />
recycling is 140 litres and is emptied<br />
fortnightly. Residents are eligible to upgrade<br />

DO<br />
Place bins on kerbside no later than<br />
6am on the designated collection day, or<br />
preferably the night before.<br />
Keep each bin at least one metre from<br />
obstacles like parked cars, letter boxes,<br />
street or power poles, trees, signs, fences<br />
or other objects that could make them<br />
difficult to collect.<br />
Place the correct items in the correct bins,<br />
and avoid contamination.<br />
DON’T<br />
Over fill your bins. Make sure your bin lid<br />
can close.<br />
Leave additional refuse. Anything left lying<br />
beside or overflowing from bins will not be<br />
collected.<br />
Compress the contents of the bin, as this<br />
makes emptying difficult.<br />
Place the bin facing the road.<br />
Remove wheelie bins from footpaths as<br />
soon as possible after collection.<br />
Collection Days<br />
For information on collection days please contact Council’s Customer Services on<br />
6211 8200 or go to www.kingborough.tas.gov.au.<br />
