Contamination control
Through Council’s kerbside collection contract, Council operates a bin inspection program to reduce incorrect items (contaminants) being placed in recycling bins.
If contamination is found prior to collection, a tag will be placed on your bin and that bin won’t be emptied.


If you get a contamination tag, please check what items should be removed and remove them before your next collection.
If you require further assistance, please contact Council on 5220 7111.
