Old streetscapes, modern bin schedule. The two coexist just fine.
Whatever year your house was built, the kerbside collection is very much a current-era thing.
Lismore falls under Lismore City for waste and recycling collections.
Visit Lismore City website for the official policy and any service updates.
Correct bin: General Waste (red lid).
Disposable nappies and baby wipes are general waste, even the ones labelled biodegradable, which do not break down in a standard kerbside system.
Avoid: Don't flush wipes, even flushable ones. They contribute to blockages in the sewer network.
General waste catches up next week, but Lismore City collects recycling and garden organics fortnightly, so a missed night there can mean a two week wait. If a bin is overflowing as a result, Lismore City may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.
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. Lismore City has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.
On the footpath or nature strip close to the kerb, lid opening facing the street, with about half a metre clear on each side. The trucks Lismore City runs use an automated arm, and bins in Lismore blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.
The neighbouring streets have their own schedules. Here's what's happening nearby.
