Rubbish - Option 1: Council provides a fortnightly rubbish collection service (Council's preferred option)
Households would receive a 240-litre wheelie bin collected fortnightly.
There will be some flexibility to choose a different size bin with a targeted rate reflecting the size of the bin. It’s likely a fee would be charged for this separately and the details for this will be worked out in the coming year.
An 80-litre or 120-litre bin could be selected but this would have to be by 31 March each year because of the way rates are set.
Estimated targeted rate per property per annum from 1 July 2021 (based on fortnightly collection)
- $115 for a 240-litre bin (default size)
- $80 for an 80-litre bin
- $90 for a 120-litre bin
