When is bin night in Canberra (ACT)?

Collection nights are spread across the week. Across the ten Canberra (ACT) suburbs covered here, four have a Friday collection, two a Monday run, two a Wednesday run and one a Tuesday run.

Gungahlin, Kingston and Braddon mostly see a Friday pickup and Kambah and Curtin mostly see a Monday pickup, though the boundary streets of any zone can differ.

Because zones can split a suburb down a single road, an address search is the only way to be certain of your night.

Public holidays are the main disruptor of an otherwise steady cycle. What changes and when is covered in the public holiday bin guide.
