Less Waste Incentive

We want to encourage less waste going to landfill. So if your household produces less waste, we are offering a fortnightly service that can save you money on next year’s rates bill.

How the fortnightly collection works

Put your wheelie bin out every second week, and we will verify your eligibility based on the frequency of empties. If it's 26 weeks or less for the year (or equivalent to), then a remission will be applied to your next year’s rates bill. Please note that the discount will be applied to your rates bill for the following financial year (1 July 2023 - 30 June 2024).

We suggest using our fortnightly calendar to remember which weeks to present your bin at the kerb.
