Your food and garden bin (green lid) is now collected weekly and your household rubbish bin (yellow lid) is collected fortnightly.

Knox City Council works with a range of contractors to collect and process your household rubbish and recycling. 

Are you wondering what to do with your Christmas tree now the festivities are over? As part of our fortnightly green waste service, we will collect bundled branches.

We provide kerbside collection services for garbage, recycling, green waste and hard waste for eligible residential and commercial properties in Knox.

If you don’t have a green waste bin, we'll be delivering one from 20 April to 28 April. Or if you do have a green bin from 1 May to 9 June, we will be replacing the current red lid and with a new lime green bin lid.

From 1 May to 9 June, we will be changing the red lids on your green waste bin to a new lime-green lid.

From 20 to 28 April, we will be dropping off a new food and garden bin to homes that don't currently have a green waste bin.

Needles and syringes must be disposed of safely in syringe (or 'sharps') containers.

Don't throw away sharps containers with general or recyclable rubbish, or green waste. 

Home composting is a great free fertiliser for your garden. It also helps the environment by cutting down on harmful greenhouse gases.

Composting is the process of breaking down food scraps and garden waste into nutrient-rich soil and fertiliser.

We’re still changing your red lids to lime green. Please keep taking your red-lidded green waste bin out on your regular collection day, even if it’s empty.

Residents will be able to recycle food scraps in their green waste bins, through a new food and garden waste service coming in 2023.

From 1 July, we will start collecting your food and garden bin, with most of the stinky stuff, weekly. Your household rubbish bin (with the yellow lid) will be collected fortnightly on the same week that we previously picked up your red lidded green waste bin.
