Owners of multi-unit dwellings may be eligible for the green waste recycling service and can be assessed on a case-by-case basis.

If a unit is strata titled (owner-occupied), the owner can order a green waste recycling bin. Council will contact the owner to confirm where the bin will be placed and who will present the bin for collection.

If the property has a building manager or body corporate, they must provide approval before the unit owner orders the bin.

Larger bin delivery information

We’ll let you know about delivery arrangements for your new, larger recycling bin once we’ve processed your order.

While you’re waiting for the delivery:

  • place your existing recycling bin on the kerbside.

  • continue to use your recycling bin until the larger replacement bin arrives, but do not fill it to more than 50% capacity. (Any recycling bin contents will be transferred to the new bin on delivery and emptied on the next standard day of service). 

  • let other members of your household and your neighbours know you’re replacing your existing recycling bin and that it needs to remain on the kerbside until Council replaces it.

  • Council has waived the $30 establishment fee when you order a larger recycling bin to replace your existing standard 240-litre recycling bin.
  • Before you order a larger recycling bin, make sure you have room to store the bins and have enough space on the kerbside to put the bins out for collection.
  • You can use the bin as soon as it is delivered. Once ordered, leave your standard 240-litre recycling bin out as if for collection. It will be swapped with your new larger recycling bin.
