Bin types

Bins are allocated to apartment buildings based on the number of units. This is done as during the site's development application, to make sure that the bin storage areas are the right size for the building's needs.

Depending on the building's design bins are either collected from the bin area or from the kerbside.The following services are allocated to suit the needs of the building: 

Council or building management, who does what?

• Provides education to residents about how to use these services.

What does building management do?

• Arranges Booked Clean ups with Council.

• Manages dumping on private property.
