Visit Hobart City website for the official policy and any service updates.
Australia Day on 26 January and Anzac Day on 25 April are public holidays nationwide. When either lands on a weekday, councils that collect that day often delay the rest of the week by one day.
Tip: If your bin day is mid-week, glance at the council notice the week these dates fall on a weekday.
Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Hobart City 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.
Paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, steel and aluminium cans, and rigid plastic containers like bottles, tubs and trays. Soft plastics, food waste and contaminated packaging do not belong in it anywhere in TAS.
Hobart City collects recycling fortnightly, alternating with the garden organics bin. The typical South Hobart collection day is Tuesday, and an address search shows which fortnight you are in right now.
