How long can I keep my bin for?

You can keep the bin for up to 14 days, with collection scheduled on the 15th day anytime between 7am and 5pm. If you wish to extend beyond the agreed period, there is a cost of $25 per additional day or $99 per additional week. Please notify us at least 24-72 hours before your scheduled bin collection if you wish to extend. Please keep in mind that we are closed on Public Holidays, so plan accordingly when notifying us of any changes. Also, be aware that any same-day changes may result in futile fees, as the driver could already be enroute to you.
