Changes to Waste Services

Bayside Council is implementing waste service changes to deliver a more efficient service to residents. This will involve bin replacement, and impact bin collection service days and scheduled clean up days. 

Collection Schedules

The waste collection schedule for some households have changed as Bayside works to optimise waste services. From Monday 6 January 2025, changes to zones for scheduled clean ups came into effect. Changes to regular bin collection services came into effect from Monday 3 March 2025.

There are several ways to check your collection days: 

Search your address on the Bayside Waste Services App

In order to find out if your bin collection days or clean up days have changed on the app, you will need to update to the latest version of the Bayside Waste Services App. This update is necessary to receive all the information for 2025. You can also call our Customer Service team on 1300 581 299.

Service Zones and Routes

Bin collection and clean up collection service zones and routes have been revised by Council to increase efficiency and improve customer service. For further information and assistance, residents can check their waste calendar, visit the Bayside Council website, download the Bayside Waste Services App, or call Customer Service on 1300 581 299. 

Bin Replacement

As part of this initiative, all old mobile bins (red, yellow and green-lidded) are being replaced with new ones. This does not include the newly-issued green-lidded bins that have been distributed as part of the garden organics program. 

This is part of Council’s routine replacement of older bins to ensure they are appropriately and consistently sized and feature correct signage, as well as to help reduce repair and maintenance costs. The new bins are made up of up to 80% recycled materials.

Bins will be replaced during a bin collection day between January and March.
