Order a new, extra or different bin

Step one: Read this

Every household must have at least one rubbish bin and one recycling bin. The food and garden waste bin and additional bins are optional.   

Tenants can order the first rubbish and first recycling bin services for a new dwelling. All additional and optional bins must be ordered or cancelled by the ratepayer or authorised property manager.  

The cost of these bins makes up the property owner’s waste service charge which appears on their annual rates notice. View current charges 

Households can have a maximum of 3 rubbish bins, 3 recycling bins and 3 food and garden waste bins.  

Additional bins must be kept for at least 6 months.
