It's important to keep your garden organics out of your red-lidded general waste bin - but why? 🤔

Placing garden organics like grass clippings, twigs, leaves, and flowers into our green-lidded bins means they can become something new like mulch or compost! If these valuable resources are placed in your general waste bin, they will end up in landfill - where they will sit in the ground and not produce anything useful!

So, keep this in mind the next time you are disposing of your garden waste.

If you have garden vegetation waste that won't fit into your green bin, consider making a garden vegetation bulk kerbside booking! The following items are accepted:

🌿Tree branches (preferably tied in manageable bundles with natural twine)
🌿Grass and mulch (must be contained in a bag or box)
🌿Stumps and logs (must not exceed 30cm in diameter)
🌿Untreated timber (untreated, not painted, no nails)

Similar to a bulk general household waste collection, your bulk garden vegetation waste can't exceed 2 cubic metres and should not contain any items longer than 1.8 metres long.

It's Keep Australia Beautiful Week!

As a community, we need to work together to keep our amazing Coast free of litter!

At our recent Community Clean Up, volunteers picked up a whopping 252 water balloons! It was by far the most common item picked up on the day.

While balloons may be a fun way to enjoy a day in the park or at the beach, they can cause serious issues for our waterways and wildlife if they are left behind, as many animals mistake them for food.

If you choose to use balloons at your party, please ensure you pick up your waste before you leave. There are also some reusable water balloon options online!

Check out Clean Up's article for balloon alternative ideas:
