Upgrade Your Bin Capacity

If you are having capacity problems you can request a larger bin or an additional bin. We do not offer bigger FOGO bins. Find out how to make a request below.

If your bins are full or overflowing, find out how you can reduce your waste by visiting How to Reduce Waste to Landfill and Waste Items for Drop Off
If you are still having capacity issues, you can pay for a larger bin or an extra bin. See our Schedule of Fees and Charges for current costs.

If you are concerned about the capacity of your Red General Waste Bin or your Yellow Recycle Bin, you can Upgrade these to a larger bin.  
To upgrade your regular red general waste bin (140ltr) to a larger red general waste bin (240ltr) it will cost an extra $98.00 per year.
To upgrade your regular yellow recycle bin (240ltr) to a larger yellow recycle bin (360ltr) it will cost an extra $79 per year. These additional charges will be added to the yearly rates. 
Please see the “Request a Larger Bin” link below to search for your address and follow the prompts provided.

A person may apply for increased bin capacity on compassionate grounds such as a medical condition which increases the quantity of waste produced or which makes correct sorting difficult. Applications for compassionate services are required to be supported by a medical professional or reasonable evidence of a medical condition. A large family is not considered a reason for a compassionate service.
