Each property is allocated a set of bins, with the initial supply provided by council when the property first joins the waste service. Ongoing responsibility for the security and maintenance of these bins’ rests with the property owner.
This helps minimise the risk of bins being left unsecured or taken by tenants or previous owners.
Council will cover the cost of repairing or replacing bins where damage occurs due to normal wear and tear associated with the collection service, including instances where a bin has fallen into the collection truck.
Where bins are lost or stolen, replacement costs will be charged to the property owner.
Lost, stolen, or damaged bins must be reported to the council and will incur a $92.00 per 120L waste bin or $95.00 per 240L recycling bin replacement fee.
If the council's waste contractors have damaged your bin and/or a new lid or wheels are needed, please contact the council directly on 03 5358 8700.
If your bin has been damaged other than by the council's waste contractors, fill out the form below and pay the $92.00 per 120L waste bin or $95.00 per 240L recycling bin per bin replacement fee.
