The minimum waste charge covers the waste services for all the community and includes collection, disposal and maintenance of street and park litter bins, illegally dumped rubbish, minor landfill management, hard waste and bundled branches collections, waste education and administration. It does not include kerbside bin collections. The minimum waste charge for 2024-2025 is $112. 

*Non-residential properties such as businesses, schools and churches are not eligible for hard waste and bundled branches collections. 

There has been an increase in the Waste Levy (formerly called the landfill levy) charged by the State Governments Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) for each tonne of rubbish disposed at licensed landfills. This levy has increased by $66.16 since 2020, and is $132.76 per tonne for the 2024-25 financial year. This increase is not within Council’s control and is separate to the general rates cap. It has resulted in an increase to Council’s Waste Management Charge.
