Some Wyndham properties are not eligible for hard and green waste collections for one of the following reasons:
- The rates for the property do not include a Waste Management charge and is not eligible to receive household bin collections or free hard and green waste collections. Hard waste and green waste collections may be arranged for a fee.
Please call 03 9742 0744 to discuss your options. - A building has recently been built on the property but the process to update the way the property rates are calculated has not been completed. Once this process is complete the owner will receive a supplementary rates notice. Once this notice has been issued (and as long as the property is paying the Waste Management charge) the property will then be eligible for hard and green waste collections.
If you have any queries about your property's eligibility, please call (03) 9742 0777 and press 2 to speak with Customer Service.
