Residential Bin Collections

The Shire of East Pilbara offers a kerbside bin collection service to all residential properties within the towns of Newman, Marble Bar and Nullagine.

A 240L general waste bin and 240L recycling bin are supplied to each rated property and serviced on a weekly basis. In summer months (October – April) general waste bins are collected twice a week, and in cooler months (May – September) once per week.

A recycling bin collection is also included in this service. Recycling bins with yellow lids are collected fortnightly, on a Wednesday.

The town of Newman is serviced on different days depending on which zone the property is located in. (Zone 1 or Zone 2) To see which collection Zone you are in click here.

Domestic Refuse Calendars are distributed to residents annually, free of charge.

Bin Placement

To assist waste and recycling operators in servicing your bin on collection day:

  • Place bin out on kerbside by 6AM on your collection day 
  • Retrieve your bin from the kerbside by 6PM
  • Do not overfill your bin (50kg max weight)
  • Do not place items alongside bin
  • On collection day ensure bins are at least 50cm apart from other bins and objects
  • On collection day place your bin with the front of the bin facing the kerb
  • Do not place bins behind parked cars
  • Keep the lid closed to prevent litter

All residential bins are to remain at the allocated property and are not to be removed if you move to a new property. They are uniquely barcoded and numbered when distributed.

The bins remain the property of The Shire of East Pilbara and residents are held liable for any loss or damage of bins.
