🎄With Christmas approaching, all residential houses in Copper Coast Council can put out an extra green waste bin from 8th December to 30th January 2026.🎄
♻Additionally, new dedicated waste stations, featuring FOGO bins for compostable takeaway items and packaging marked with the seedling logo, and CDS (10¢ deposit) bins are being placed alongside existing landfill bins in parks and reserves. Expressions of interest from local community groups or not-for-profits are being sought to partner in the CDS bin initiative. Groups can display their logo on the bins, help maintain them, and use the collected refund monies to support community projects.
♻Copper Coast Resource Recovery Centre will be Closed on Public Holidays Only during the Christmas/New Years period.
