Garbage & Waste Collection

The Three Bin System

Wagga Wagga City Council operates a three bin kerbside collection system for domestic premises. These are:

• a 240 litre green (garden) waste bin
• a 240 litre recycling bin
• a 120 litre domestic waste garbage bin

If you have any enquiries, please contact Council's Customer Services on 1300 292 442.

Need to dispose of needles or syringes?

Call the SHARPS INFO LINE 6926 9520 for disposal locations. Sharps must not be disposed of in any domestic or commercial waste bin.

Where Does the Waste Go?

The material in each of the bins is disposed of in separate locations, these being:

• Domestic and Commercial garbage - at the Gregadoo Waste Management Centre
• Recyclables                                   - at Kurrajong Recyclers material recovery facility
• Greenwaste                                   - at the Gregadoo Waste Management Centre

As a result, if the incorrect materials are placed in any of the bins, the cost of sorting each of the waste streams becomes more expensive. These additional costs would then be reflected in your rates or in extra rent. Please help us maintain this efficient and viable service!

Want More Bins?

Additional bin services are available for domestic garbage, green waste or recycling. Commercial premises only receive a 240 litre garbage bin as part of their general garbage rates, but may be able to receive a green waste and recycling bin at additional cost. Contact Council on 1300 292 442 for more information.
