Isaac Regional Council would like to advise residents kerbside bin collection is business as usual, including public holidays, in the region.

Here’s some residential bin day reminder tips:

• Remember to place bins at the kerb by 6am on collection day
• Leave at least 1m between bins
• Ensure lids are fully closed
• Ensure bins weigh less than 80kg

While residents are spending more time at home, Council is reminding residents to hold onto non-urgent waste for now unless it is essential, adhering to health and safety directions.

Our Waste Management Facilities are currently experiencing extensive wait times, as our dedicated and hard-working staff are committed to keeping you safe and adhering to COVID-19 related requirements.

In the meantime, when it comes to preparing for bin days, please remember what to place in the red lid bin:

• General household waste
• Non-recyclable plastic
• Green waste

For the yellow lid bin, the following recycling tips are to remove lids, rinse containers & place items loosely then place the following:

• Cardboard boxes need to be crushed and torn to prevent jamming
• All rigid plastic containers, milk, juice, soft drink and detergent bottles
• Glass bottles and jars
• Newspapers, magazines, paper and telephone books
• Aerosol, aluminium and steel cans
