You can request a 80L, 120L or 240L bin.
If you exchange your rubbish bin for a smaller size, the $40 administration fee for bin exchanges will be offset against your rates reduction:
- If the rates reduction is less than $40, you will not pay any extra fees.

This will be valid for the:
- Franklin area from 1 July 2025 to 31 July 2025
- Rodney area from 1 September 2025 to 30 September 2025.
