What do I do on collection day?
It is recommended that you place the bins on the curbside or in the pre-designated collection spot the night before your scheduled collection day.
What do I do if collection day falls on a Public Holiday?
KS Environmental does not operate on the following days:
- Good Friday
- Christmas
- New Years Day
Bin collection services will continue as normal for all other public holidays during the calendar year. Pending availability, casual ‘ring-in’ services may be diverted to alternate days.
Can I pause my service if needed?
KS Environmental offers its customers the ability to place a temporary service stop. Simply advise our customer service team or your designated sales representative with the dates of your service stop, and we will pause all collections (at no charge) until the provided resumption date. Customers can still call the office during this time to book any casual collections if required.
Please note: A minimum notice period of 24 hours is required, depending on the size of the business. Larger businesses with multiple bin collections are recommended to provide 7 days’ notice to allow sufficient administration time.
