Wellington Shire Council is reminding residents that there will be no kerbside bin collection across the shire on Christmas Day. In areas where a council bin collection is normally on a Monday, a bin collector will come a day later on Boxing Day. Council is asking people in:
- Flamingo Beach
- Glomar Beach
- Golden Beach
- Honeysuckles
- Loch Sport
- Longford
- Paradise Beach

Including Sale households that normally have their kerbside bin collected on Monday, to leave their bins out prior to 6am Tuesday 26 December 2023. All other collection days remain the same.
Dispose of recyclables, e-waste, and steel for free at our transfer stations. Separate them clearly to reduce costs. This makes it much easier for staff to accurately assess your load fee
