How the Service Works

Hamilton uses a three-bin system:

• Red bin for rubbish (collected fortnightly)
• Yellow bin for recycling (collected fortnightly, alternating with rubbish)
• Food scraps bin collected weekly

The Fight the Landfill programme aims to reduce waste and encourage better recycling across the city.
