Collection Day: Early Tuesday Morning (bins out Monday night).
Frequency: General rubbish is collected weekly, and recycling is collected fortnightly.
Holidays: No collection on New Year's Day, Good Friday, and Christmas Day.
Our team usually handles bin placement between arrivals, but we appreciate if guests can request assistance if bins are getting full or haven't been placed for collection.
Tips:
Night before collection day, bins should be close to the gutter, handles facing the house, and spaced 1m apart.
Do not overfill or leave rubbish on the grounds; contact us if assistance is needed.
Please recycle appropriately; refer to the Hepburn Shire recycling list for clarification.
