Change your bin size

If you require a larger or smaller bin than those currently at your property, you can request an alteration to your bin size. 

An alteration fee of T770 applies only when increasing the size of your general waste bin or reducing the size of your recyclables bin. No fee is applicable when reducing the size of a general waste bin or increasing the size of a recycling bin.

This fee is charged per wheelie bin, limited to bin sizes 140L, 240L and 360L. This is to be paid at the time of ordering.

Alteration of a bin size for domestic properties can only be requested from the property owner, managing agent or an authorised third party. 

Property owners or managing agents of commercial properties must download and complete the Commercial general waste and recycling kerbside collection application(PDF, 295KB) form and return to council using any of the below options:

  • by post: mail to Moreton Bay Regional Council PO Box 159 Caboolture QLD 4510
  • by email: mbrc@moretonbay.qld.gov.au
  • in person at a customer service centre. 

The bin collection service charges(PDF, 761KB) on the property rates will also be changed to reflect the new bin size.
