How rubbish, recycling and food scraps bin charges are calculated
You are charged for waste collection services each year in your property rates. The rating year runs from 1 July to 30 June.
If your new waste collection service starts part way through the rating year, you will be charged from the date you order the service until 30 June.
Waste charges for a full year will be added to a property rates account from the new rating year starting 1 July.
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.
Rubbish bin charges
Rubbish collections will be funded through your property rates from Monday 2 December 2024. Between that time and the new rating year (1 July 2025), the cost to your rates for the partial year is based on the size of your rubbish bin.
If you order a new bin after December 2024, the cost is calculated on the size of the bin and the month it was ordered.
