Which council collects Annandale?

Annandale is in Townsville City Council, Queensland. That is the council that decides your collection day, supplies your bins and publishes the schedule — so it is the council name to look for on any official bin information.

This trips people up more than it should. Council boundaries rarely match the suburb names people actually use, and a suburb can sit on the edge of one council while the shops you drive to are in the next one. If you have just moved to Annandale, or you are checking on behalf of a rental, Townsville City Council is who you are dealing with. Our full Townsville City Council bin day guide has the detail , and Townsville City Council’s own website is the source of record .

Annandale bin colours and collection frequency

Townsville City Council issues 2 bins to households in Annandale:

Townsville does not currently provide a kerbside garden organics bin to most properties: most homes have only red and yellow bins.

Why your street may differ from the rest of Annandale

Knowing the council is only half of it. Townsville City Council divides its area into collection zones so the trucks can work through it across the week, and those zone lines do not follow suburb boundaries. A single suburb the size of Annandale is often split across two or more collection days, which is why a neighbour a few streets away can be a reliable-sounding but wrong source.

The other half is which week you are in. General waste here is weekly , while recycling is fortnightly . Anything on a fortnightly cycle means counting weeks, and public holidays shift the count. The checker above returns the actual next date for each bin, so there is nothing to count.
