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 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.

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

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

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

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. 

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.
