Multi-unit developments that use a private bin collection service are not eligible for Council bins.  

Shared Food and Garden Organics (FOGO) Bins

For all new users of shared FOGO bins, Council will provide a food and organics kit which includes a kitchen caddy, compostable bin liners and brochures.

Fees for Shared Bins

All properties that have access to a shared Council bin will be charged a fee for access to that service. This fee will appear as an item on the annual rates notice. 

The fee for shared FOGO bins will be finalised with the Budget and is likely to be $66 per year, which is the charge for the smallest available food and garden organics bin of 140 litres.
