Rubbish Removal
Communal Rubbish Bins are located in the communal areas of the two secure car parks. Rubbish bins are taken out for collection weekly by the cleaners.
The City of Kingston offers all residents a garbage, recycling and garden waste (optional) kerbside collection service. Garbage bins (red lid) are collected on a weekly basis. Recycling (yellow lid) and garden waste (green lid) bins are collected on alternate weeks, on the same day as your garbage bin which is a Monday for Casuarina Villas.

Kingston City Council is introducing food waste recycling as part of the green bin service.
Throughout 2020 Council will send every home or apartment that has an existing green bin a food waste caddy and compostable caddy bin liners. These caddies (little buckets) are designed it sit on a kitchen bench and are to be used for all food scraps and paper towel - this is to reduce the amount of garden waste going to landfill and once it’s full the whole bag with contents is to be placed in the green bins in the car park areas.
When Casuarina Villas receive these caddies, you will receive more detailed information on what can and cannot go in our green bins. You can also download a copy of Council's information booklet.
See the Council links above for more information.
