Manningham’s WASTE SERVICES
NEW WASTE CONTRACT
In 2016 Manningham Council commenced a new waste collection contract as well as replacing
all residential garbage, recycling and garden bins, which had been in service for 17 years.
The new contract delivered substantial costs savings for Council which saw the standard
bin option charge reduce by 24 per cent in the first year.
HAS COUNCIL INTRODUCED A NEW WASTE CHARGE?
No, the annual waste charge has been shown as a separate item on the annual rates notice
for over 17 years to provide ratepayers with a transparent fee for this service.
WASTE CHARGE IN 2017/18
Standard waste charge (2017/18) $212.20
Standard average weekly cost $4.08
Waste service charge increase $7.20 annually / 14 cents a week
