If you need more space for your recyclables, be sure to take advantage of Council’s offer for a free, larger recycling bin (240-litres).
Usually, Council has a one-time ‘establishment fee’ of $30 which is currently waived. This is a great opportunity to help manage your household’s waste more effectively and ensure you’re recycling as much as possible.
The larger recycling bins:
- aim to increase recycling and reduce waste sent to landfill
- are ideal for households of more than three people
- are ideal for residents who have an overflowing recycling bin every collection day
- are ergonomically designed for easy use
- are 1100 millimetres high, 680 millimetres wide and 870 millimetres deep
- provide residents with the capacity to recycle additional material.
