Some apartments, flats and units use shared bins.

If your building has large, four-wheeled bins there is a different process.

In most cases  you will not need to place these on the kerb for collection. This is done for you by your Strata and by Council’s contractors.

Where do I put my waste?

Some developments have waste placed directly into the bins themselves. Some have a dedicated waste room or a chute system.

If you are unsure, contact your building manager.

Tidy tips:

• Check out our Waste & Recycling Guide.
• Take furniture and bulky domestic waste to Beverley Recycling & Waste Centre.
• Flatten large cardboard boxes.
• Keep waste room clean and tidy.
• Report any concerns to your building manager.
• Hard waste pick-up for flats and apartments.

Hard waste 

In most cases, residents of flats and apartments can use our hard waste service.

However, not all sites have suitable space for storage and collection of hard waste. In this case, you are not able to book a hard waste collection. You need to make separate arrangements to dispose of waste.

You can drop items off at the Beverley Recycling & Waste Centre or speak to your building manager for private waste removal.

Report it via the online portal

Contact Cleanaway on 1800 777 844

If reported before 12pm your bin will usually be emptied on the same day, after this time it will be scheduled for the following working day. Please leave your bin on the kerb until it has been emptied.

The time of day your bin is emptied may vary (anytime between the hours of 6am and 6pm). Please make sure you leave your bins out from the night before and during these hours to ensure your bin is collected.

We allow waste collection from 6am along a number of our major roads, e.g. Findon Road, Henley Beach Road, Seaview Road, Port Road etc. This is to allow the trucks to empty bins before it becomes too busy. This has always been the case - 6am covers all those people whole live on early start roads.

Trucks shouldn’t be entering residential streets until 7am however we have had a few drivers enter residential streets before 7am at the start of our new contract with Cleanaway, and this is due to the drivers learning new routes and having their timing out a little bit.

The Weekly FOGO trial is a 12 month trial of Weekly Food Organics Garden Organics (FOGO) collections from Monday 1 May 2023 with 1,000 households in Seaton and Tennyson.

Participating households will have a switch in their bin collections with their weekly FOGO (green lid) bin collected weekly and general waste (blue lid) bin change to a fortnightly collection.

Making the switch to weekly FOGO collection will help to support our community to put food scraps into this bin, along with garden waste.

Check out our Weekly FOGO trial page for more info.
