Rubbish collection fees

The standard rubbish service provided by the Shire of Toodyay is a weekly collection of one 240ltr mobile garbage bin and a fortnightly collection of one 240ltr mobile recycle bin. The costs for this service are: 

• $275 per annum domestic (one weekly rubbish collection, one fortnightly recycle collection)
• $295 per annum commercial (one weekly rubbish collection, one fortnightly recycle collection)

This cost applies to all mandatory and non-mandatory rubbish pick up. Optional rubbish collection is only available for those who reside along the collection route.

Residents who have the FULL service provided, i.e. one weekly rubbish collection and one fortnightly recycle collection, can add an additional bin with pick up (rubbish or recycle) for the following costs:

• $96 per annum domestic – one additional bin & bin pick up (either rubbish or recycle)
• $118 per annum commercial – one additional bin & bin pick up (either rubbish or recycle)

For example, a resident who receives the full service can add an additional recycle or rubbish bin for a further cost of $96 per annum (domestic) or $118 per annum (commercial).

All charges are per annum but a resident who requests that the service be added part way throughout the financial year, will be charged on a pro-rata basis.

Please note that once a resident opts to utilise this service, the option to withdraw from the service will not be available until the following financial year.

If you require a new or additional service, please contact us.

My bin is broken, how do I fix this?

Occasionally over the life time of your bin, parts may be required to be replaced. For example, bin lids, lid pins, wheels and axles. These items will be replaced where possible if the damage is incurred as part of normal wear and tear of the bin. To report any repairs, please contact the Avon Waste office.

Why wasn’t my recycling bin collected?

There are several reasons why a bin may not be emptied.

• Your bins were not placed out on time.
• Your bins may have been obstructed by parked cars or trees for example.
• You have placed unacceptable items in your bin.

Remember, bins are not necessarily collected at the same time of day.

If your bin was missed and you are unsure why, please contact the Avon Waste office on 9641 1318.
