Waste & Recycling

Council provides a weekly garbage collection service in Nyngan and maintains the waste disposal depots in Nyngan and the three villages.

Residents are reminded to lace their garbage bins in the street with the arrow facing the street to ensure that the lid automatically closes when returned to the upright position after emptying. Additional items placed alongside will not be collected.

Business houses are urged to organise a system that will adequately meet their needs in relation to cardboard boxes.

Residents are reminded not to place heavy objects or hot ashes in their mobile bins, as this will cause damage to them.

Home composting and recycling will save space and money by reducing the tipping and disposal costs. Your support in these areas would be appreciated, including adequately covering your load when rubbish is being delivered to Council's tips. Council has the ability to, and will, deliver on-the-spot fines to those individuals who do not adequately cover their loads.

The commercial area of Nyngan is swept twice a week, with other areas of the town swept monthly.
