Here are a few helpful tips that will go a long way towards ensuring timely and efficient service:
• Do not place hot items in the bin – such as stove ash or cooking oil
• Please bag loose items – such as grass, dust, powder, etc
• Broken glass – please wrap securely in newspaper
• No vehicle batteries please – contents are corrosive
Do NOT place the following items in your bin, these should be transported directly to your nearest landfill:
• Building materials – such as bricks, rocks, soil or concrete
• Liquids – paints, motor oil or solvents
• Hazardous waste – toxic or corrosive substances
• Medical waste – such as loose syringes and sharps
• Vehicle parts or engine parts (*excluding tyres see below for more information)
• Large metal objects
* Tyres are not accepted in kerbside collection, nor at any landfill site in the Goondiwindi region. Contact your local tyre service centre for local options for disposing of tyres.
