Waste collection: Red (general) & Blue (glass)
April 6, 2026
An event every 2 weeks that begins at 12:00 AM on Monday, repeating indefinitely
Your rubbish bin / ipupara
This is your wheelie bin with the red lid, and it’s just for rubbish.
When green waste goes to landfill it creates methane, a greenhouse gas much more potent than carbon dioxide.
Instead of putting it in your red bin, consider composting or using our green waste collection.
Did you know? I get collected weekly.
