Released 25/11/2020
There have been no disruptions to household waste and recycling kerbside collections this week and the collection contractor Suez has been notified that there is not expected to be any protected industrial action for the remainder of the week by drivers.
Household waste and recycling collections are underway in suburbs that were missed last Wednesday and Thursday. Residents’ bins are expected to weigh more due to the missed collections last week which could lead to some bins not being collected on time for the remainder of the week. Please leave your bin on the kerb until collected.
We would like to thank the community for their patience following the impacts to household bin collections in recent weeks due to the protected industrial action. Many Canberrans made use of the temporary drop off sites available for household waste to be taken, and some of these sites remain open this week.
Households impacted by disruptions to collections last week can take up to three large bags of household waste (from the general rubbish bin) to the temporary rubbish only drop-off sites listed below for free.
