Alice Springs Town Council
bin guide

Alice Springs Town Council uses separate kerbside collections for rubbish. Choose an exact address for its dates and service eligibility. Collections Day checks the Town's official street table and returns a day only for one unqualified, serviced street. Roads marked no service or divided by a cross street or number parity are withheld.

Common questions

Quick answers

How do I find Alice Springs Town Council collection dates?
Choose the exact property above. The private result uses the council's official collection information after that selection, rather than guessing from a suburb or postcode.
Can soft plastics go in the recycling bin?
No. Keep plastic bags, film and wrappers out of mixed recycling and use an appropriate drop-off service where one is available.
Does this council collect food scraps at the kerb?
Not as a standard service shown in this guide. Check the official council source for future changes or property-specific options.
