Waste and Recycling

Council supplies up to three bins for each property and an aerated kitchen caddy for kitchen waste. Correctly disposing of waste through kerbside bin collection is an important responsibility to ensure as little waste as possible is sent to landfill.

The Heathfield Resource Recovery Centre (HRRC) is a multi-stream recycling facility where residents can recycle or dispose of waste.

Green organic drop off days are one way that Council helps residents to prepare for bushfire danger season and maintain green organic waste on their property. Green organic waste will be turned into high quality mulch, soil and compost products.
