Garden Bin

Residential property owners are provided with a 240 litre green lid garden bin. You are able to opt for a smaller 120 litre garden bin or for no garden bin, however there is no change to the annual cost. To view prices or for more information, please see order new bins.

All items placed into your garden bin must be loose and not in plastic bags. Only grass clippings, small branches (up to 100mm), prunings and leaves can be placed in your garden bin. Please don't place soil, dirt, building material or plastic bags into your garden bin. Please note the hydraulic arm on our trucks cannot collect bins that are heavier than 75kg.

If you have large branches that need to be collected, you can arrange a bundled garden waste (branches) collection or drop off garden waste at the Manningham Garden Waste Centre.
