How rubbish and recycling bin charges are calculated
You are charged for waste collection services each year in your property rates. The rating year runs from 1 July to 30 June.
If your new waste collection service starts part way through the rating year, you will be charged from the date you order the service until 30 June.
Waste charges for a full year will be added to a property rates account from the new rating year starting 1 July.
You will not get a refund on your rates if you downsize a rubbish bin. The extra charge for the larger bin will be removed from your rates from 1 July.
