Kerbside Bin Service

To make sure your bins are collected by Council, please ensure that:

• There is one metre space between bins placed at the kerbside, as waste collectors' need to be able to pick bins up and place them down again.
• Always put bins out with handles facing the house.
• Do not place bins under trees that have overhanging branches, or behind parked cars.
• Do not overfill your bins. Make sure your bins are free from contamination. If your bins contain contaminated materials they will not be emptied.
• Place your bins on the kerbside by 6am on collection days.

If your bin was not collected on the appropriate day please advise Council by phone on 8721 2555 or email city@mountgambier.sa.gov.au

Please note that sometimes the trucks can run late and residents are asked not to phone before 3:00pm on their collection day to advise of a missed bin.

If your bin is damaged, please contact Council on 8721 2555 or email city@mountgambier.sa.gov.au so that inspection/repairs can be carried out. If your bin is missing, please check neighbouring properties and reserves. If the bin cannot be located, a fee will be charged for a new bin which Council will deliver to you.

There will be no collections on Good Friday or Christmas Day. Notification of alternative collection day will be available in the local newspaper/s and on the City of Mount Gambier Facebook page. Collections on all other public holidays will be as normal, unless otherwise notified.
