For future services ensure your bin is:

• Placed at least 0.5 m away from other bins.
• At least 1 m away from other objects (trees, cars, letterboxes, etc.).
• Weighs less than 75 kg (no building materials, etc.).
• Is not overfilled and lid is closed.

Please note Council will only service Bundaberg Regional Council provided bins.

The bin should have a Bundaberg Regional Council logo or a logo from a former Burnett, Kolan, or Isis Shire.

If your bin is tagged as being not covered by the property rate charges, it means the property owner is not currently paying for the extra bins. To have the bins serviced, the owner must contact Council to request additional services be added to the property’s rates notice. Otherwise, Council will remove the bins from the property.

What next?

• Share this information with your household and inspect your bin’s contents before the next service.
• Follow the above tips to ensure your bin collection runs smoothly in the future.
• Recycle the bin tag in your yellow lid bin
• If you often run out of space in your yellow lid recycle bin, households can opt in for a second bin at a discounted rate.

If you would like your bin to be emptied before the next service, remove any incorrect items and consider:

• Applying for a one off, unscheduled bin service by completing the > missed scheduled bin collection payment form
