Residents who are unable to physically move their bins to and from the kerbside due to a disability or illness can apply for an assisted bin collection service.
Once approved, the driver of the collection vehicle will collect the bins from an agreed location on the resident’s property, wheel the bins out to the truck for collection and return the bins to the original location. The assisted service is provided at no additional cost to residents.
The resident must make a written application to the City for an assisted bin collection service and include a letter of support from a general practitioner/medical doctor.
