Did you know Council has a dedicated bin inspection team? The team covers the whole of the Tweed, checking our yellow, green and red kerbside bins to make sure we're using the right bins for the right waste. Their aim is to help our community understand our 3-bin system and use it correctly.
If your kerbisde bins have been inspected multiple times and you haven’t got it quite right, you will find the above 'Uh oh!' postcard in your mailbox with some helpful info so you can get it right the next time.
You may also find a Thank You postcard from the team. This means you’re a bin legend and have been disposing of waste the right way!
We understand that knowing what goes in each bin can get a little confusing, so we have a range of tools to help you, such as our online Waste Wizard.
Head to the Waste Wizard on our website. Simply type in the item you want to dispose of correctly and it will tell you which bin to put it in.
Easy!
