Upgrade your recycling bin

To request a larger recycling bin, please contact Veolia on 9350 7195.

Upgrade your general waste bin 

If you're having difficulties managing your general waste, the property owner or managing agent can upgrade your standard red-lid general waste bin (140L) to a larger general waste bin (240L) for an additional cost of $153.00 per year- pro rata (2026/2027 Fees and Charges). 
 
Residents can apply for increased bin capacity on compassionate grounds, such as having a medical condition that increases the quantity of waste you produce, or which makes correct sorting difficult.  

You must be receiving a Commonwealth benefit or pension to receive compassionate waste services at no cost (You will need to provide evidence).

Tips to manage and reduce household waste

Avoid waste 

One of the best ways to reduce waste is to avoid waste-generating products in the first place, especially single use and disposable items.

Residents can drop off many items (including cardboard and polystyrene) free of charge at Baywaste Transfer Station and Recycling Centre, 271 Collier Rd, Bayswater, which may create space in your kerbside bins.
