Darwin Bin Collection 2026: Red and Yellow Lid Bins, Bin Day Rules and What Goes Where (Darwin, NT)
In Darwin, a house gets a red general waste bin emptied every week and a yellow recycling bin emptied every second week. Bins go on the kerb the night before or by 7:00am, wheels facing your property, at least half a metre apart. This guide sets out the bin rules, what to do when a collection is missed, and what the City’s A to Z guide says goes in which bin, from City of Darwin’s own pages checked on 9 November 2026.
