Item	Fee

Change the size of wheelie bins (larger or smaller)

This is a one-off fee charged by Council to cover the cost of physical delivery and collection of the bins. Where a standard-size bin has been replaced by a larger bin, this represents an enhanced service which our contractor will charge for on an annual basis for as long as the enhanced service is provided. Invoicing and payment will be between the contractor and the customer, without Council's involvement.

Item	Fee
Change the size of one bin	$105
Change the size of two bins at the same time	$119

Opt into the kerbside collection

Some properties do not receive a wheelie bin service because they do not pay the Council's Waste Minimisation Rate. These properties may elect to pay for these services separately - properties opting in will be invoiced by the Council annually.

Item	Fee
Opt into kerbside collection for all three services - for non-rateable or similar properties	$401

Reinstatement of a removed wheelie bin

Item	Fee
Reinstatement per bin	$105
