Nightcliff Beach, September 2025

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.

Darwin Shoal Bay Waste Facility 2026: Opening Hours, Access Tags, Green Waste and What to Bring (Darwin, NT)

East Point, Darwin, 2019

Shoal Bay Waste Management Facility is open every day from 7:00am to 5:45pm, and Darwin households get in free with an access tag. The tag belongs to the property, not the person, so a renter has to ask the landlord or rental agent for it. This guide sets out the hours, who can get a tag, how to sort a load and what the City says it will and will not take, using City of Darwin’s own pages, checked on 9 November 2026.
