Ongoing industrial action by the ASU affecting some bin collections

08 Oct 2026

Council will be running bin collections this Saturday 10 October to catch up on bins affected by the Australian Services Union's (ASU) industrial action this week.    

Some bin collections to the north of Bell Street may be affected by ongoing industrial action by the Australian Services Union (ASU). 

If you live north of Bell Street and your bins are not collected, please leave them out and we will collect them as soon as we can. The ASU has advised Council that they intend to miss every 5th residential bin as part of this industrial action.  

The ASU’s industrial action affects only household bins to the north of Bell Street. Bin collections to the south of Bell Street are carried out by an external contractor and are not affected.  

It’s regrettable that the Australian Services Union’s industrial action has affected our communities and customers, and we apologise for any disruption. 

We will continue to negotiate in good faith with all unions representing our staff
