Wheelie Bin Re-Issue Charges

Organic wheelie bins can be returned at any time but the annual rate charge will still continue to the end of the financial year. A charge of $65.00 (incl. GST) will be made for any request for a re-issue of an organic wheelie bin to the same property within two years. The re-issue charge will not apply where there has been a change in ownership of the property.

Ratepayers can swap 240 litre rubbish bins for 80 litre bins at no charge at any time. The new annual rate charge will be based on the date of the swap. (This encourages waste minimisation).

A charge of $65.00 (incl. GST) will be made for any request to swap from an 80 litre rubbish bin to a 240 litre bin within two years of the 80 litre bin being issued. The re-issue charge will not apply where there has been a change in ownership of the property.
