As we head into a dry and hot summer, learn how to keep you and your family safe
In This Section
Shoalhaven City Council provides a weekly kerbside bin collection service for your red-lid bins and a fortnightly collection for your yellow-lid bins. Our Yellow Bin Recycling Calendar provides a simple guide to which week your bins are picked up.
See our complete Yellow-lid Bin Guide to know the ins and outs of what goes in your kerbside bins.
Bins are collected throughout the Shoalhaven by Veolia (Council's contractor).
Learn more about options for recycling household waste items as well as how to get your bin repaired, replaced, upsized or downsized.
Red-lid bin waste goes straight into landfill.
It’s important to put the right items in the right bin. Many of the items listed above can be recycled for free at our Recycling and Waste Depots. See our complete Yellow-lid Bin Guide to learn more.
The yellow bin fridge magnet has been produced specifically for Shoalhaven residents. It clearly shows you the items that are accepted in your yellow-lid kerbside recycling bin. Many of these items are found in the kitchen.
Order yours today and help everyone in your household get recycling right.
Make sure your waste and recycling bins are put out on the kerb the night before bin collection is due.
Bins must be at least one (1) metre from other bins, parked cars, trees, power poles and street signs.
To find out your bin collection days, go to the My Area page and enter your address details.
You can also check the Yellow Bin Recycling calendar for your collection schedule and page two (2) will display suburbs in Area one (1) and Area two (2).
