Domestic Waste Services
Households in the Dubbo Regional Council will have waste services for their property, which may include a FOGO (green-lid) bin, recycling (yellow-lid) bin or residual (red-lid) bin depending on whether the household is identified as a three-bin service, two-bin service or rural service area. Find out more about collection types, view the collection calendar, inspect the interactive map for your property's collection details, and view frequently asked questions at Council's dedicated webpage Domestic Waste Services.

Tipping Vouchers
We have changed the way you can access residential tipping vouchers. This program is available to residents who receive a two or three bin kerbside collection. Each eligible household can access one voucher per financial year. Find out more about the program at Council's dedicated webpage Tipping Vouchers.
Bulky Rubbish Collection
We have changed the way you can access bulky rubbish collection services by launching a one-year trial for a pre-book collection service. This service is available to residents who receive a two or three bin kerbside collection, and each eligible household can book one collection per financial year. Find out more about the service at Council's dedicated webpage Bulky Rubbish Collection.
