This year, Council will be carrying out Bin Health Checks at 1,000 randomly selected households as part of a smaller-scale rollout of our annual recycling education program.

A Bin Health Check is a simple โ€˜lift the lidโ€™ visual assessment to:

โœ… See if household recyclables have been placed loose and clean in your yellow lid bin
โœ… Spot that there is no contamination in your yellow lid bin
โœ… Scan for any recyclables lost in your red lid bin

๐Ÿ‘‰ The program starts Monday, 21 September and concludes in October 2026.
๐Ÿ‘‰ You will receive a total of 3 bin health checks, across 3 fortnightly recycling services.
๐Ÿ‘‰ A flyer in your mailbox letting you know youโ€™re part of the program.
๐Ÿ‘‰ A Bin Health Professional will carry out a quick โ€˜lift the lidโ€™ visual check of your bins on the kerb, on your scheduled collection day.
๐Ÿ‘‰ A bin tag with personalised feedback and recycling tips
๐Ÿ‘‰ An info pack attached to your bin lid

17/09/2026

Just a quick note that with smoke from the bushfire in Mount Archer National Park lingering across Rocky, we wanted to share a few simple tips that may help you stay comfortable and reduce your exposure while conditions remain smoky.

A few things that may help:
๐ŸกStay indoors where possible and keep windows and doors closed when smoke is present.

โ„๏ธIf you're using air conditioning, switch it to 'recirculate' or 'recycle' mode to help prevent smoky air from being drawn into your home.

๐ŸชŸIf conditions improve and there's a break in the smoke, take the opportunity to open windows and doors to air out your home and improve indoor air quality.

๐Ÿ›๏ธIf your home becomes too hot or isn't keeping smoke out effectively, consider spending some time in an air-conditioned public space such as our libraries or shopping centres.

โ˜Ž๏ธ Check in on family members, neighbours and friends who may be more vulnerable to the effects of smoke, this includes: children, older people, pregnant women and people with existing heart or lung conditions, including asthma.
