Kerbside recycling collection delays – Lyons & Leanyer
City of Darwin advises that kerbside recycling collection services in Lyons and Leanyer may be temporarily delayed on Thursday 1 May and Friday 2 May 2025.
Residents are requested to leave their yellow-lid recycling bins on the verge. Collection crews will be working after hours and any streets not serviced will be prioritised for collection on Friday morning.
To assist, please ensure bins remain out until close of business Friday.
We appreciate your understanding as we work to complete all scheduled collections.
Changes to Library access and book drop
Construction of the new Civic Centre building will soon commence. The current Civic Centre carpark and nearby entrance will be closed from Monday 28 April and remain closed while works take place. The City Library will remain open and will be accessible from the Civic Centre Customer Services’ entry near Civic Park.
Please note that the City Library returns chute will be temporarily unavailable. A new Book Drop will be installed at the Cavenagh St side of the Civic Centre soon.
We kindly ask all customers to:
- return items inside the Library during opening hours, or
- use one of the 24/7 return chutes located at Casuarina, Nightcliff or Karama libraries.

We apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.
