Rubbish and recycling bin charges

If you live in an area where our food scraps collection starts in 2023, we will automatically add this service when you request a new recycling service.

To reflect this, we will add an additional charge of between $65.50 and $53.81 to the pro rata invoice for the waste services you receive for the 2023/2024 year.

This will be added to your rates account from the following year.

You will still be charged even if you choose not to use the service.

You will not get a refund on your rates if you downsize a rubbish bin. The extra charge for the larger bin will be removed from your rates from 1 July the next rating year.

The annual charge for a new waste service (recycling and rubbish bin) is pro-rated based on the month the bin was ordered.
