Waste Collection

Shire of Carnamah contracts the services of Veolia to provide weekly rubbish removal for all townsite lots.

Rubbish removal is carried out each Tuesday morning in Carnamah and Tuesday afternoon in Eneabba. Bins need to be in place the night before rubbish pick-up.

Bins should be positioned within one metre of the kerb or edge of bitumen, with the wheels positioned away from the kerb or road.

Bins are to be kept in good order. Bins that are split, have broken lid hinges or are otherwise unserviceable need to be repaired or replaced.
