Here is all you need to know about Shellharbour City’s waste services over the festive season.
No Xmas Day Bin Collections
A friendly reminder to all residents that our garbage collection trucks will be taking a break on Christmas day.
Please place your bins on the kerb for your normal bin day & we’ll come by to collect them either that day or the next.
If it’s not collected on its usual day, rest assured, we’re on our way!
Extra recycling collection for all residents!
All residents will receive an extra recycling collection between 30 December and 10 January 2025 (inclusive).
Make sure you put your recycling bin out during this period!
Bulk kerbside collections and irregular services
Bulk kerbside collections and irregular services are temporarily unavailable from Monday 23 December to Thursday 2 January 2025. Bookings reopen Thursday 2 January 2025.
