About business waste and recycling
Our business waste and recycling collection service is for small amounts of domestic-type rubbish only. This means waste that will fit into wheelie bins, such as rubbish and recycling from:
- staff lunchrooms and bathrooms
- offices and small businesses.
This service does not replace bulk bin (commercial or industrial waste collection) services, which are provided by many different private companies operating across Knox.
Business bin fees
We base our fees on a 240 litre rubbish bin and a 240 litre recycle bin.
Fees are current from 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024.
