Extra bin fee
Both residents and businesses must pay an annual fee (July to June) to have an extra garbage or recycling bin. If you request this service, we will invoice you annually and separately to your rates notice.
As this is an annual service, we do not provide credits or refunds if you cancel the extra bin service part-way through the year.
