Bin Health Check Program
Let's get it sorted Rocky Region!
Knowing how to sort your household items into the right bin increases resource recovery, builds a local circular economy and helps reach zero waste to landfill.
To give your bins a health check-up, our local Bin Health Professionals will be out and about, doing a simple ‘lift the lid’ visual bin health assessment of household bins.
Between March through to October 2025*, we will visit your bins on your scheduled collection day (prior to your collection service) to carry out a quick check to:
- See if your recyclable items are placed loose and clean into your yellow lid recycling bin,
- Spot if there is any contamination in your yellow lid bin, and
- Scan for lost recyclable items in your red lid general waste bin.
While they are there, they will also:
- Provide feedback to your household by attaching a bin tag onto your bin, and
- Leave information and resources to help your household get your recycling sorted.
