Rubbish and recycling bin charges

What happens when you change or upgrade your rubbish or recycling bin during the rating year

If you have requested a change or upgrade of your rubbish or recycling bin during the rating year, you will be invoiced separately from your property rates bill.

If this is an ongoing charge, it will be added to your property rates bill from the following rating year.
