Optional Rural Kerbside Collection Service

Council is offering a kerbside waste and recyclables collection service to owners of properties that are on or near a number of designated roads through the Shire.

Options include: 

  • 120L waste bin collected weekly
  • 240L recycling bin collected fortnightly

Bins must be delivered to, and collected from the designated road.

Why rural kerbside collection?

Glenelg's rural waste collection service offers a handful of benefits. It helps to minimise the number of trips to your local landfill and/or waste transfer station. It also maximises the amount of recyclable materials, a plus to the environment.
