Bin Requests

You can order Garbage (red lid) and Recycle (yellow lid) bins for a newly constructed house.

Green Waste (green lid) bins are an optional service. 

The property must be occupied before bins will be delivered. Once you are in the house and the bins are ordered, the bins will be delivered to the nature strip within 2 working days.

House number must be displayed. If no number is displayed, the delivery of the bins may be delayed.

If you require bins for your new home, you need to:

• Submit a request online
• Phone: 1300 023 411

Additional or Green bin requests can only be made by the owner or managing agent of the property.  Managing Agents should provide evidence of their authority to manage the property while applying, such as the service agreement or written confirmation on a letterhead.

Payment is required when ordering an optional or additional bin. After that, the bin charge will be added to the annual rates for the next financial year.
