The Garbage Collection Charge on the annual utility bill is determined by the size of a property’s Garbage Cart only; the size of your Green Cart does not impact this charge which includes both garbage and green waste collection and disposal.
- Small (120 Litres) - $281
- Medium (240 Litres) - $371
- Large (360 Litres) - $524
Carts can be exchanged for different sizes at any time throughout the year. Exchange fees may apply. See below for details.
Garbage and Green Carts are City property and have a unique ID printed in white lettering on the front that corresponds with the property address. Mixing carts between properties can result in utility billing errors. Please write your address on the white bar on the cart lids to prevent mix-ups.
