It will be the responsibility of the property owner to place the bin in a position accessible to the truck on the left hand side of the designated route when considering the direction of travel of the garbage collection vehicle (as marked on the route map).
Placement of the garbage bin is critical:
-
Always put MRB’s out with handles facing away from the road.
-
Place bin on a level surface if possible.
-
Ensure bin is not a hazard to on coming traffic.
It is the responsibility of the property owner to promptly remove the bin from the roadside after collection to ensure that bins are not blown onto the road by wind or heavy vehicles.
As the majority of rural services could be designated as commercial, the 240 litre bin has been made available. A 120 litre MRB is still made available to rural users with low recycling outputs.

Place your bin facing the road, wheels and handles to the house
-

-

Place your bin where it can easily be seen
