CHANGES TO BIN COLLECTIONS DAYS Cumbalum and some rural services Ballina Shire Council will be introducing changes to bin collection days in a number of urban and rural areas from early October 2021. These changes are necessary to balance the allocation of waste trucks across the shire and to keep up with the increasing demand for waste collection services. Not all properties within the suburbs listed below will be affected by the changes. Impacted properties will receive a letter in the mail to advise them of the changes. Service area maps will also be available on Council’s website at ballina.nsw.gov.au/bin-collection-days so that residents can check whether their property will be impacted. The following changes will come into effect from October 2021:
CUMBALUM

ALSTONVILLE, BROOKLET, FERNLEIGH, PEARCES CREEK,
