Order a smaller, larger or additional bin

Use this form to order a smaller, larger or additional general waste, recycling or food and green waste bin.

If you need to change your bin size or order an additional bin, please read through the following information carefully and complete the form below.

Changes to bins

Every council in Victoria is required to transition to a standardised waste collection system with uniform bin colours and names by 2027. This change includes:

  • General waste will be called household rubbish and have a red lid
  • Food and green waste will be called food and garden organics (FOGO) and have a green lid
  • Recycling will be called mixed recycling and have a yellow lid
  • New glass bins will have a purple lid.

This is part of the Victorian Government’s Circular Economy Strategy to cut waste and boost reuse and recycling. The aim is to have the same household bin system, no matter where you live.

In Bayside, we’re introducing new general waste bins with a black-body and red-lid to replace our current dark-green general waste bins.

The roll-out will commence in September 2022, however if you order a new general waste bin now, it will be one of the new red-lid, black-body bins.

All the old dark-green bins will be recycled and turned into new bins.

We won’t be changing the recycling bin or introducing a separate glass service just yet but we will keep you informed when we do.

There are some households who are eligible for a free larger general waste bin due to specific waste needs. These are listed below.

Those who identify as any of the following will need to provide any one of the forms of evidence listed plus proof of address. 

Household with two or more children in nappies:

Household with 6 or more members:

Household with someone living with a disability or chronic illness:

Household with a carer of someone living with a disability or chronic illness:

*For information on who can sign your statutory declaration, please visit the Justice Victoria website

All applicants must also provide proof of address. 

If you believe you are eligible but are unable to provide the evidence listed above, please call us on (03) 9599 4444 to discuss your eligibility. 

You can still order a bin. Additional costs will apply to larger or additional general waste bins, and additional recycling and food and green waste bins. Refer to the section below for a full breakdown of costs associated with each bin and their sizes.
