The District Council of Grant provides a two bin kerbside rubbish (green with red lid) and recycling (green with yellow lid) collection service to residents within defined collection areas. Bins are collected fortnightly on a rotational basis.
Council is currently undertaking multiple Mobile Garbage Bin (MGB) route extensions within the district. Please contact Council's Principal Office on (08) 8721 0444 should you wish to find out more about the extensions or clarify your current designated MGB collection day.
Bin Collection
2023-2024 MGB Collection Calendar
2024-2025 MGB Collection Calendar
It is imperative that bins are placed out the night before or prior to 6am on the day of service to ensure collection.
Please ensure your bin is placed with the lid opening towards the road and the lid is kept closed to prevent animal scavenging and/or win blowing rubbish along the roadside.
Bins which are overweight (above 70kg) or contaminated may not be collected. A sticker will be placed on your bin to advise of the reason for non-collection. Non Council issued bins will not be collected.
Bin Collection Expansions
Council is currently undertaking multiple route expansions within the district. The aim of these expansions is to ensure that all residents in townships and larger settlements have access to kerbside general waste and recycling services and at a more affordable rate than would be available if sourcing the service privately.
Residents who do not currently have Council's Mobile Garbage Bin collection service (rubbish and recycling) but are interested in obtaining it, are invited to express their interest via Your Say DCG: Mobile Garbage Bin Collection Expansions.
Expressions of interest collected via Your Say DCG will allow Council to investigate new collection areas. New expansions will be proposed within the Draft Annual Business Plan and Budget. Following its associated consultation process, a final plan will be presented to Council for endorsement, including the MGB expansions.
More information about this process is also available via Your Say DCG: Mobile Garbage Bin Collection Expansions.

Additional Bins
