When and where to put your bin

Please place your bin outside your home on the evening before the nominated collection day so not to miss an early morning collection time. Missed bins will not be collected until the subsequent week’s service for your area. 

Place the bin as close to the road as practical. Bins should be at least one metre apart and with at least one metre clearance from any other object (e.g. fences). Choose a spot that won’t block pedestrian, bicycle or vehicle access or visibility.

Please place all your waste into the bin. Objects next to the bin will not be collected and overfull bins will be collected at the discretion of the truck driver.

Wheelie bins can not be collected if the weight exceeds 150kg. An automatic scale on the truck rejects the bin if the weight exceeds this limit.

For any queries, requests for service or repairs to your bin, please contact the Uralla Shire Council Waste Operations Team Leader on (02) 6778 3558.

Damaged bins

Damaged bin lids and wheels can be replaced by Council. To request repairs for your bin, please contact the Council’s Customer Service on (02) 6778 6300.

Council does not replace stolen, lost or broken kerbside bins free of charge. Residents can order a new bin through Council's Customer Service Centre. The annual fee will apply, please visit our Fees and Charges page for current details.
