When collections are pushed back over a holiday period, the gap between pickups grows. General waste and organics can build up faster than usual, especially across the festive season when households produce more of both.
Tip: Squash and flatten where you can, and avoid overfilling. A lid that will not close can mean the truck skips your bin.
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 Upper Hunter Shire runs use an automated arm, and bins in Murrurundi blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.
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. Upper Hunter Shire has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.
