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.
