Council’s Garbage Truck Operators are seeing an uptick in numbers of missed bins which have not been out when the truck arrives, so we have asked them for their top tips for Bin Day:-

• Driver’s can’t guarantee we will be at someone’s house at the same time every Bin Day, so put your bins out the night before;
• The ULSC logo should be facing outward to the road with enough room between bins so that the truck forks can lift the bin;
• Do not put your bin where the truck can not get to it e.g. behind a parked car;
• Only put the right items in the right bin, drivers do not collect contaminated bins; and;
• Make sure nothing is jammed in the bin (like carboard boxes) so that it empties when the truck shakes and taps it.

If you follow these simple tips, straight from Councils Garbage Truck operators’, collection day will go smoothly.

Can't remember what day to put your bin out? View the Waste Collection Calendars

Collection times are subject to change due to circumstances such as public holidays. Updates to collection times are published on Upper Lachlan Shire

Upper Lachlan Shire Council rangers have been actively working across the Shire, undertaking a range of important tasks to keep the community safe, ensuring animals are properly contained, and fostering respect throughout the area. 🤝

Council has notably installed a K-9 Kube on the ranger vehicles for safer, kinder dog handling and to keep both our staff and furry friends protected.

In addition, Council have upgraded the animal holding facility with better, bigger, and safer pens— improving animal welfare for those animals in Councils care.
