To check your kerbside collection day, please refer to the kerbside services zones and calendar. Further information can also be found in the Hobart City Council Recycling Brochure.
If your recycling wheelie bin is lost or missing you may arrange for a new one to be delivered by contacting Council’s Collection Services Officer on 6238 2966.
Please note that collections will not be conducted on Good Friday, or Christmas Day. Collections for Good Friday will occur on the Thursday before Good Friday, and collections for Christmas Day will occur either the day before or the day after, and will be published in the public notices section of the Mercury closer to the date. Collections will occur as usual for all other days of the year.
| Hobart residents and businesses can also recycle the same materials as collected in the kerbside system by dropping them at the recycling depot at the McRobies Gully Waste Management Centre. This service provides users with an avenue to dispose of any extra recycling they have, and there is no charge to use the facilities. |
