Frequently asked questions
Why does my neighbour in Pottsville have a different bin day?
Collection routes are planned street by street, so two nearby addresses can sit on different runs, and near a boundary they can even sit in different councils. Collection days in Pottsville vary by street, so check your exact address. Confirm with your own address rather than copying the neighbours.
Can I get a larger or extra bin?
Tweed Shire offers larger or additional bins for eligible households, such as big families or medical needs, usually for a fee. Contact the council's waste team; if you are new to Pottsville, check what size is standard first, since upgrade policies differ between councils.
How do I get rid of furniture or a mattress in Pottsville?
Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Tweed Shire runs a hard waste service, either booked on demand or on scheduled dates depending on the area; the booking form and accepted items list are on the council website. Charities collect saleable furniture free.

Quick tips for bin night
- Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Pottsville the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
- Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Pottsville means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One calendar reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
- Summer bins need managing. A Pottsville red bin in January is a different beast. Bag food scraps tight, keep the bin in shade if you can, and get it out every single week even when it is barely half full.
