Apply for a larger black rubbish bin

Start Your Application

This form is for requesting a different sized black rubbish bin. You can request recycling containers or a replacement black bin (if yours is broken or missing) here.

Before applying for a larger black rubbish bin please make sure you are:

• - Using the recycling service for your paper, cardboard, plastic bottles, pots, tubs and trays, cans, glass, textiles, garden and food waste
• - Reducing your waste as much as possible

Please be aware that we only take into account rubbish generated by people permanently living at your property and do not count waste from pets.

As part of the application review process, a member of the Waste Management team may complete checks that could include:

• - asking for additional information,
• - a check to see what recycling is being presented for collection,
• - a waste audit at the property with the applicant to ensure the household is using the recycling and food waste services to their full extent and not putting recyclable waste in the rubbish bin,
• - a site visit to assess if there will be any operational issues manoeuvring a larger sized bin from the collection point to the collection vehicle,
• - a check using Council records to confirm the number of adults permanently living at the property,
• - a request for the submission of ID for each household member, or for each child in nappies,
• - For hygiene waste: supporting evidence from a doctor or medical practitioner.

After you submit this application we'll assess whether it's necessary for you to have a larger bin for your rubbish.
