Weekly cardboard
recycling service
Criteria for collection
Cardboard must be:
 bundled and tied;
 placed onto the kerb outside your premises on
Tuesday evening or by 6.00am Wednesday, for
collection on Wednesday, ensuring clear
pedestrian access;
 able to be lifted with ease by one person; and
 no more than five manageable bundles of
cardboard, equivalent to one cubic metre.
If the business has limited kerbside or pedestrian
access, please contact the Council on 9932 1000 to
arrange an alternate collection point.
What will not be collected
The Council operate a Wednesday collection of
cardboard from commercial properties.
How to register
Firstly your business must be using the Council’s
fortnightly recycling service from 240 litre wheelie
bins to recycle most of the cardboard.
To reduce manual handling and littering, the Council
prefers that businesses register for an additional
recycling service before supplying a weekly
cardboard service.
If recycling bins can not contain the amount of
cardboard the business produces, contact the
Council on 9932 1000 to register for the weekly
cardboard service.

Wednesday, and that it has met collection criteria.
Contact the Council on 9932 1000 to report a

removed from the kerb until such time.
The Council will not return to collect inappropriately
