You can download a copy of our bin collection calendar below, or collect it from the Glenelg Library or Brighton Civic Centre.

Except for Christmas and New Year's Day, collections occur on public holidays.

If you are on our sustainable service (weekly food organic / garden organic collection) you can get weekly notifications on your mobile phone the night before your collection day using the My Holdfast app. The app will remind you when and what bins need to go out.

Apple users can download it via the App Store, and Android users can download it via the Google Play Store. Enter “My Holdfast” into the search bar and look for the wave symbol. Then download and use it. Please note that the app's bin feature is only available for residents on the Weekly FOGO service.

Missed a bin collection?

If your bin collection was missed, please advise Solo Resource Recovery between 7am and 6pm, Monday to Friday.

Putting your bins out for collection

  • Place your bins on the kerb in a visible position by 6am. on collection day, and once they are emptied, bring them in on the same day.
  • Bins should be 50 cm apart with wheels facing away from the kerb. They should also be at least one metre from obstacles such as parked cars, trees and electricity poles.
  • If you live in a multi-apartment complex, please place bins lined up in the same bin type, for example, all recycling bins next to each other. This will make it easier for the truck to collect.
  • Bins must be less than 50 kg to be emptied.
