Domestic Waste Charge
(Back to top)What is the Domestic Waste Charge?
Council is required to provide and charge all residential properties for a domestic waste management service under the Local Government Act 1993. This charge is prescribed as per Council’s published Fees and Charges and currently entitles households to the following services:
- Weekly domestic waste collection (red lidded bin);
- Fortnightly recycling (yellow lidded bin) and garden waste (green lidded bin) collection on alternate weeks;
- Household Clean Up Collections;
- Problem Waste Collection Services; and
- Community engagement and education programs.
How is the Domestic Waste Charge calculated?
Your domestic waste charge is based on:
- size of the garbage bin you are currently using
- the amount the City of Parramatta is charged to process and dispose of domestic waste
For annual domestic waste charges please see the Schedule of Fees and Charges 2022-2023 below
