Red bin
The standard general waste service is one 80-litre red-lid bin collected per week for each residential premises and one 240-litre bin per three units in a shared complex.
- If you’re a new owner, confirm your new waste charges correspond with the bin you're using in your new home by reviewing your rates notice.
- There’s a strict limit to the number of waste bins or wheelie bins that each property is entitled to have emptied.
- Cardboard boxes, rubbish bags or any other waste receptacles other than the approved bin for a house or unit will not be emptied.
- Any bin that’s in a condition likely to cause injury will not be emptied.
- We recommend you number your waste bins clearly to avoid a charge for someone else's extra garbage.
- For excess waste bins, purchase bins from recommended bin wholesalers, such as Environmental Bin Sales, Sulo or Mastec.
- Properties with a waste compactor are entitled to 40L waste per unit. A waste compactor halves the amount of waste generated by a ratio of 2:1, therefore 40L capacity applies.
Council contracts the waste collection service to URM. To facilitate this service your personal details may be provided to URM who are bound by Council's privacy obligations.
