Rubbish is to be stored in appropriate areas, in the correct bins. The PBC, via its contractor uses a bin liner in the general waste bin so that it will remain odour-free. You must store both bins in a screened enclosure, so that the bins cannot be viewed from your street or by neighbours.
Recycling bins are emptied once a fortnight. Recycling items are restricted to glass bottles and jars, rigid household plastic items (not Styrofoam), aluminium or steel cans and aerosols, clean cardboard, newspapers, magazines and cartons. Green/garden waste can be taken to Helensvale Waste & Recycling Centre at Helensvale Road, Helensvale. It must not be placed in your recycling bin or disposed of on common property such as nature strips or footpaths.
It is not necessary to wheel bins out to the footpath, they will be collected and returned to their storage areas by the waste contractors.
