Bin Information All councils have different rules and procedures around what they will collect in a hard rubbish and whether a property address is entitled to one or two collections each year. Some properties on main roads or in large apartment complexes will have a set rubbish collection service only. Please visit the website for your local council to get a list of bin collection dates for your particular property. They even have calendars for the fridge! Owners must provide vermin proof bins under the new minimum standards. This just means the bin needs to have a lid. As the property resident you can report a lost/damaged or stolen bin to the council for replacement directly. Owners pay for the cost of bin collection separately through their yearly rates. The cost increases depending on the size of the bin. Most councils are trying to reduce waste and have specific grounds on which you can apply for a larger bin service. Typically recycling bins in a larger size are available at no additional cost. Where a renter wants to increase the size of their current bin service, it is common for the rental provider (owner) to require the renter to pay the difference in the annual charge. If you want to request this, please email your property manager directly.
