Commercial Waste Services

The annual fees above are for 2024/25 and are for each bin service per week. Multiple bins and/or collections are charged accordingly. For example, two 140-litre bins collected twice weekly equals four services (that is, 2 bins x $687 x 2 services = $2,748 p.a.), as does a single 140-litre bin collected four times per week (that is, 1 bin x $687  x 4 services = $2,748 p.a.).

Rateable business properties are entitled to a 140-litre general waste (red lid) bin, serviced weekly, as levied under the Business Waste Management Services Charge.

This bin can be upsized to a 240-litre bin for an annual charge ($349 in 2024/25).

To help reduce waste sent to landfill, recycling and garden organics bins are offered at lower prices than general waste (garbage) bins.

We offer 660-litre and 1,110-litre (large mobile bins with four castor wheels) for both general waste and recycling. Please contact us at wasteaccounts@ncc.nsw.gov.au or on 4974 2000 to apply for this service.

The annual fees above are for 2024/25 and are for one bin service per week. Multiple bins and/or collections are charged accordingly. For example, two 660-litre general waste bins collected weekly equals two services (that is, 2 bins x $2,220 p.a. per bin = $4,440 p.a.).
