About bin fees
Every household must pay a residential waste charge so Council can provide bin services. The charge depends on what size bins you have. This charge appears on your rates bill.
The residential waste service charge provides:
- the wheelie bin combination that you use for rubbish, recycling and food and garden waste
- bundled branches and residents own container for additional green waste
- hard rubbish service.
This applies to all residential properties in Knox that use Council's waste services. A small number of properties (some apartments or multi-unit developments) may be required to use private waste services.
If you are renting, the owner or rental agent will arrange Council bins for you.
