Bin Requests

You can order Garbage (red lid) and Recycle (yellow lid) bins for a newly constructed house.

You will receive a green waste bin (green lid) from February 2026.

The property must be occupied before bins will be delivered. Once you are in the house and the bins are ordered, the bins will be delivered to the nature strip within 2 working days.

House number must be displayed. If no number is displayed, the delivery of the bins may be delayed.

If you require bins for your new home, you need to:

• Request a New Residential Bin
• Phone: 1300 023 411

Property owners or managing agents need to order bins for a home. Managing agents can apply with proof they are looking after the home with a:

• Service agreement , or
• Written confirmation on a letterhead

Order additional bin

Costs for optional or additional bins

Charges as per the below table will apply based on the month Council receives the application. Charges will be added to the next rates notice and apportioned across the remaining rates instalments. 

1. If you wish to cancel the service in the following financial year, please submit a bin cancellation request before 23 June to prevent the non-refundable charge from re-occurring.
2. Owners in the process of selling their property are not required to cancel their additional bin service.
3. In 2025-26 Wyndham City will be providing a green-lid Food Organics and Garden Organics (FOGO) bin to every household that receives a Council waste service but does not have a green lid bin as yet.  From 1 July 2025, the green-lid FOGO bin will be part of the 2025-26 waste service charge.  A green-lid FOGO bin will be delivered to every household in 2025-26. Cancelling an optional green waste bin is not an option.
