More or Fewer Bins

Your domestic waste collection service is best practice as recommended by the NSW EPA and is generally more than adequate for an average 5 member household.  However, Council understands that in certain circumstances the standard service will not meet all households’ needs, e.g. where a household has 2 or more children in nappies, there are more than five occupants and/or you have a dual occupancy (granny flat) at your property.

Additional or larger bins are available at a fee by completing the attached application form.  The application form must be completed in full, signed by the property owner and returned to Council. You must supply your rate assessment number..  If you are renting your home please contact your real estate agent to check whether they are authorised to sign the form on behalf of the owner.

If you already have larger or additional bins and want to reduce your service the attached application form must also be completed.

All charges for additional bins will be billed ‘pro rata’ on the owner’s rate assessment notice. This means that the owner will be billed only for the portion of the year that you have additional or larger bins. Bins are delivered with 5-7 working days of receipt of your application form by Council.

• I understand that Council will debit the total cost of this service to my rate assessment notice and that Council requires two weeks’ notice for cancellation of this service. If the requested service is only utilised for part of the year, charges will only be applied for the proportion of the year that the service is utilised.

• I understand that Council will withdraw this service if this account falls into arrears or bins are continually contaminated with non-complying materials.

• I understand that it is my responsibility to contact the Waste Hotline 1300 551 659 should bins be damaged or stolen.

• I understand that bins are to be presented on the kerbside for servicing no earlier than the night before the scheduled collection day and returned to private property as soon as possible on the day of servicing.

• All information provided in this application form is true and correct.

• I declare I have the authority to sign this application form, which will alter the Domestic Waste Management Charge on the owners rating notice for the abovementioned property.
