Upgrade Your Kerbside Bin Service
Please note: the information below is for rated residential properties that already have a kerbside waste service with City of Newcastle.

If your bins regularly overflow by collection day, we offer a range of additional waste services on a fee-for-service basis. You can request bigger bins, extra bins or more frequent servicing of your bins.
All pricing shown below is for 2023/24 and is subject to annual change.
Additional Waste Service Options
You can upsize your:
- standard 240-litre recycling (yellow lid) bin to a 360-litre bin for a one-off fee of $31. That's 50% more bin space, with no ongoing payments.
- standard 140-litre general waste (red lid) bin to a 240-litre bin for $320.25 (annual charge).
To help reduce waste sent to landfill, additional recycling and garden organics bins are offered at lower prices than general waste (garbage) bins.
The 2023/24 annual charges for each additional bin are as follows:
- Standard 240-litre recycling (yellow lid) bin: $119.25.
- Upsized 360-litre recycling (yellow lid) bin: $142.60.
- Standard 240-litre garden organics (green lid) bin: $121.70.
You can request additional red lid bins, or arrange to have them serviced more than once a week.
| Collection days | Number of services per week |
2023/24 charge per |
2023/24 charge per |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monday to Friday | 1 to 4 | $630.00 | $777.00 |
| Monday to Friday | 5 to 8 | $609.00 | $750.75 |
| Monday to Friday | 9 and over | $582.75 | $729.75 |
| Saturday and Sunday | 1 or more | $708.75 | $966.00 |
The annual fees above are for each additional bin service per week. For example, two 140-litre bins collected twice weekly equals four services (i.e. 2 bins x $630 x 2 services = $2,520 p.a.), as does a single 140-litre bin collected four times per week (i.e. 1 bin x $630 x 4 services = $2,520 p.a.).
