Multi-Unit Development Collections

If you live in a multi-unit development your waste and recycling services may be different to other households in the same area. Multi-unit developments are provided with waste and recycling capacities which are determined by formulas set out in the Development Control Code (PDF 216KB) Additional capacity can be purchased by arrangement through the owner's corporation (body corporate).

To request a change to waste services to a multi-unit development please have the complex's Strata Manager complete this Smart Form.

Recycling:

Developments of more than 10 units usually have yellow-lidded hoppers or wheeled 240-litre bins for shared use.

What to put in the Recycling Hopper or Bin (PDF 390KB) details the items that can be placed in recycling bins and hoppers.

If you have more recycling than can fit in your bin or hopper, don't forget that there are free regional recycling centres where you can drop off paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, cartons, rigid plastic containers and steel and aluminium cans and foil.

Garbage:

If you live in a development of 10 or less units your garbage service will be the same as households in the surrounding suburb. You will have been allocated a green 140-litre green lidded wheelie bin which will be collected on the same day as other domestic households in your suburb. Please refer to the Collection Calendar 2011-2012 (PDF 715KB) for information about the service relevant to your area. Contact Cleanaway on (02) 6260 1547 for information about where to place wheelie bins for collection in your development.

Developments of more than 10 units are normally provided with a black-lidded Garbage Hopper. For collection information contact Cleanaway on telephone (02) 6239 2600.
