The Council is committed to reducing the waste sent to landfill and ensuring that our waste management practices meet environmental best practice.
The Council Kerbside Waste, Recycling and FOGO Collection Service operates with Council supplied bins – General Waste (140L) Recycling (240L) and FOGO (240L). These are the only bins that the collection contractor is required to empty.
In May 2020 the Council resolved that an additional 140L MGB would be allowed where strict criteria are met. The annual cost for this service for the 2025-26 financial year is $140 for each additional service, and an invoice for the service will be issued following assessment and approval of an application.
It is necessary to reapply annually to maintain the additional service. A new application form will be forwarded to recipients in June each year, the application form must be completed and returned by 30 June to continue to receive the additional service. If the application form is not returned by this date it will be assumed that the service is no longer required and the bins will be collected.
Please note it is the applicant’s responsibility to notify the Council of change of address and contact details.
Please note that application for an additional collection bin does not imply approval. If your household does not have at least four people normally living at the residence and/or any of the reasons stated, the application will not be successful.
The first stage of assessing this application is for the Council to understand your current waste situation, the processes you have in place and why the standard service is not sufficient.
If you have any questions in regard to this application, please contact the Council’s Services Officer on tel. 6429 8110.
Once your application has been received a Council officer will contact you to discuss your request further.
