Waste Collection
Waste Collection days
Weekly rubbish collection services operate throughout the urban areas of Burnie and Ridgley.
Details of collection times and days are noted in the link above.
Household rubbish can be deposited only in 80, 120 or 240 litre mobile garbage bins. The total weight must be less than 65kg including the bin, and only household refuse may be left for collection. All food waste, vacuum cleaner dust and other materials likely to be offensive or to spread must be wrapped prior to being placed in a rubbish bin.
Bins are to be placed within 300mm of the front of the kerb in such a location that it will not present undue hazard to pedestrians.
