Garden Waste Transit Stations
Blue hook lift bins are dropped off in one of the four collection areas as set out below, usually mid week for a period of one week on a four weekly cycle.
1st Week: Nhulunbuy South and Contractors area
2nd Week: Central Town from Matthew Flinders Way to Chesterfield Ct
3rd Week: Chesterfield Ct West to Jasper Road
4th Week: The area west of Jasper Rd
on the following week the bins are individually emptied at the Waste Management Facility and then returned to the next collection area.
Residents are requested to:
- store garden waste at their residence until the blue bins are in place on the concrete set down areas in their locality
- use the bins for green garden waste only
- put items in the bin of a manually manageable size
- Take larger items directly to the waste management facility for which there is no charge to residents
In the interest of our environment do not dump green waste or rubbish in the bush.
Wheelie Bins
A twice weekly residentail rubbish collection service is provided to all households in the Nhulunbuy Township serviced by NCL’s collection contractor. We all know that unwrapped foodscraps thrown into bins attract flies and result in unwanted smells so it is important to wrap your rubbish well, especially in Nhulunbuy’s warm tropical climate.
Hanging a suitable pesticide product inside the bin to help guard against maggots and flies is also recommended.
Always keep your wheelie bin lid closed when rubbish is inside, hose it out on a regular basis and clean it thoroughly with antiseptic solution at least once a month. After cleaning it is a good idea to air the empty bin for at least 24 hours.
If your bin is missed on collection day you can ring the contractor on 0419 739 007.
