When and how to put your waste bin out

General waste is collected in Bathurst 365 days per year.  Please be advised that your bin will be collected as normal if your collection day falls on a public holiday. 

Download the FREE app Bathurst Waste Services Guide from the Apple Store or Google Play for a collection calendar, set reminders for bin night, report problems, view an interactive map of recycling locations, and much more!

  • Put your bin out on the kerb the night before for collection
  • The lid should open towards the street with wheels and hinges facing your property
  • Keep your bin clear of cars, trees or poles
  • Do not place any liquids in the bin
  • Do not over fill your bin as this may result in it not being able to be collected
