Cassowary Coast Goes Yellow in March 2025!
The council is thrilled to announce the introduction of kerbside recycling, starting 24 March 2025.
This long-awaited initiative is a major milestone in the region’s journey toward sustainable waste management and environmental stewardship.
Get ready to Think Yellow as yellow-lidded bins are for recycling plastics, cans, glass, paper, and cardboard.
Updates and info sessions coming soon!
Key Dates to Remember
3–21 March 2025: Green bin lids will be swapped to yellow during your regular dry waste collection day.
24 March 2025: Kerbside recycling officially begins.
Once the yellow lid is installed, residents should place their bin on the kerb fortnightly, even before recycling officially starts.
The collection schedule will align with your previous green-lid bin collection day.
Together, we’re taking a major step toward sustainable waste management.
