Waste and Recycling

You can find more information on Waste and Recycling at Planet Arks website.

Damaged Bins:
In the interest of a tidy community, Armidale residents are encouraged to report any damaged red-top and green waste bins they have to council for either replacement or repair, free of charge.


Compostable Bags

Armidale residents will be aware that some retailers now supply compostable carry bags. 

Council asks residents to dispose of these bags in the red-top bin as they will quickly break down (decompose) in the landfill, as opposed to plastic bags which can persist in landfills and the environment for many years. 

Please do not dispose of these bags in the garden waste (greenwaste) bin.  This is a short-term request until such time as a suitable composting facility has been developed at the Long Swamp Road waste management site.
