Unit Blocks & Townhouses

What is your waste allocation?

The waste allocation for unit blocks and townhouses is a shared allocation. The volume of weekly waste and recycling capacity for each unit is the same as single dwellings, however, units share bins due to space constraints and recycling is collected weekly. 

All unit blocks and town houses are supplied with 240L bins. Each unit is charged a separate Domestic Waste Management charge as per the Council's current adopted Fees and Charges.

For example - for a unit block with 6 individual units the bin allocation will be as per below:

  • 6 units x 80L general waste bin = 2 x 240L bins allocated
  • 6 units x 140L recycling bins = 3 x 240L bins allocated (rounded up)
