Collection Services
Tamworth Regional Council provides various waste collection services across the region including garbage and bulky household goods collections, garden organics and recycling collections. The different service types are designed to cater for delivering the most cost effective sustainable package of services to as many residents in the region as possible. Factors that influence the services available in a particular location include the distance to transport material to a processing facility; the capacities for semi-rural properties to self manage some waste types since most rural properties have the capacity to mulch or manage garden organics on site and finally the isolation of some properties in the region, where collection services are impractical and not cost effective.
| A waste collection contract with Transpacific Cleanaway came into force on 31 August 2009. As a result, a larger area of the region now has roadside garbage and recycling collection services. Bulky household goods collection services have also been extended. Report missed collections to Transpacific Cleanaway on the Waste Hotline 1300 530 535. |
| The waste collection services operate on a calendar, which can be downloaded to provide a handy reference guide to which bins are collected each week in each location. |
| Kerbside garbage collection occurs weekly, where the service is provided. The red-lidded bin can be used for non-hazardous household waste. |
| Kerbside recycling collection occurs fortnightly, where the service is provided. The yellow-lidded bin can be used for household recycling. Please do not put recyclable items in plastic bags, or put plastic bags in the recycling as they damage the machines that sort the recycling. |
| Kerbside garden organics (or green waste) collection occurs fortnightly, where the service is provided. The green-lidded bin can be used for smaller garden organic material. Larger items such a tree stumps and branches can be taken to your local waste management facility. |
| Some parts of the region receive a bulky household goods collection service in June and November each year. The collection dates are advertised in local media and will be the same day as your garbage collection. |
