Common questions
Quick answers
How do I find Pyrenees Shire 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.
Can food scraps go in the garden organics bin?
No. This is a garden-only service; food scraps stay out.
