Disposal of noxious weeds
Noxious weeds can be placed in your garden waste bin. Garden waste undergoes a pasteurisation process where it is heated to high temperatures which ensure the seeds can not germinate.
Noxious and declared weeds can also be placed in the rubbish bin but put them in a plastic bag and tie the top to ensure they are not spread further once they get to landfill.
Collection
Put your garbage bin out for collection every week. See collection calendar.
Your bin should not exceed 70 kilograms in weight.
