BINPEOPLE

(and how to avoid being one of them)

The Don Bradman

Whether you’re the Twelfth Man, or scored a hundred in the backyard at Mum’s, chances are you’ve used the old green wheelie bin as stumps.

We don’t want to be the umpire no one likes, but remember, your bins are our property and there is a cost to replace them so we don’t want to see them broken by your bad googly.

The Neighbourhood Bin Ninja

The lights are off, the moon is bright, not a creature is stirring… except you. You’re stalking up the road in your PJs looking for bins to fill.

Being a bin ninja won’t make you particularly popular in the neighbourhood, if you need additional waste collection, talk to us!

The “Oh No I’ve Missed It!”

There’s nothing worse than lying in your nice warm bed and hearing the symphony of the approaching garbage truck.

Make sure your bins are out before 6am on bin day. Missed your service? For a small cost, Council offer a special collection service for late wheelie bins. Talk to us!

The Tetris Bin Packer

All those years spent playing video games has probably equipped you with mad Tetris skills, but just because the lid is down, doesn’t mean it’s good to go.

Flatten cardboard, squash cans and bottles to make more space and make sure to talk to us if your bin is only partially emptied. Talk to us!

The Impromptu Parking Lot

You come out in the morning and your kerb looks like Disneyworld in school holidays… in front of your bin…

It’s not always easy to predict if your bin will be parked in, but you can make it easier for our team by ensuring there is 1 metre between your bin and other objects. If your bin is missed, make sure to talk to us!

The ‘she’ll be right’

It’s just one little petrol container. She’ll be right mate!

There’s no “she’ll be right” about it, know what to put in each bin and if you aren’t sure, click here.
