Rubbish - Option 2: Council provides a pay-as-you-throw rubbish collection service

Households would receive a 120-litre bin as part of a pay-as-you-throw wheelie bin service.

Households would only pay when the bin contents were collected.

Actual costs to households would depend on how frequently the bin was emptied and on sufficient numbers of households taking this up to make it a viable option.

Estimated user fee per property per annum from 1 July 2021 (based on weekly collection):

• $234 for a 120-litre bin if bin emptied weekly
• If the bin is emptied less frequently the cost would be: $117 per annum for fortnightly collection, $58.50 per annum for four-weekly collection, or $4.50 per pick up.
