Visit Shoalhaven City website for the official policy and any service updates.
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.
A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Nowra's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections.
Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Australia, and Shoalhaven City lists its e-waste drop off options online, usually the local transfer station plus periodic collection events. Officeworks takes computers, phones and cables in most areas.
No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever Shoalhaven City supplies to the address. If bins are missing or broken at a new rental, report it to the council or your property manager; replacement is usually free and does not need the owner.
