Here is what Byron Shire collects from Bangalow kerbs, and how often each bin goes out.
The heritage homes get character. The bins still go out the same as everyone else's.
Some things don't change regardless of how old the neighbourhood is.
Bangalow falls under Byron Shire for waste and recycling collections.
Visit Byron Shire website for the official policy and any service updates.
Remove caps and lids from plastic bottles before recycling.
Caps are often a different type of plastic that causes contamination if mixed with the bottle material. Metal screw-top lids on glass jars are the exception and those can stay on.
Example: Milk bottles, shampoo bottles, soft drink bottles: pop the cap off first.
The usual reasons: the lid was not fully closed, the bin was out after the truck passed, contamination was spotted in the recycling, or the truck arm could not reach past a parked car. Byron Shire has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.
It depends on the holiday and the council. When Byron Shire shifts collections, everything from the holiday onward that week usually moves one day later. An address search during a holiday week shows any adjusted dates the council has published.
Anything in the yellow bin that does not belong: food soiled packaging, soft plastics, clothing, electrical items. It matters because a contaminated load from Bangalow can send a whole truck to landfill, and Byron Shire can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.
The neighbouring streets have their own schedules. Here's what's happening nearby.
