About bin fees
Every household must pay a waste service charge of $298 per year to provide bin services. This charge appears on your rates bill.
The rubbish bin fee provides the standard service of:
- an 80 litre waste bin
- a 240 litre recycle bin
- bundled and resident’s own container for green waste and hard waste 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.
Bin upgrades or extra bin costs
