Households can change to a smaller or larger general rubbish (red lid) bin depending on the size they currently have.
We have two general rubbish bin sizes available. The size you currently have at your property is shown on your annual rates notice and indicated by the serial number on the bins side. As a general rule, the serial numbers will begin with a B or an S.
- If the serial number starts with a B, you have a 120 litre bin.
- If the serial number starts with an S, you have an 80 litre bin.
Please note, the above bin sizes are smaller than the 240 litre mixed recycling (yellow lid) and food and garden (green lid) waste bin. Frankston City Council do not offer a 240 litre rubbish bin.
Before you request a larger general rubbish bin, please consider how you could reduce your waste through recycling, composting, or ordering a food and garden waste bin. Residents find they do not need to increase the size of their general rubbish bin if they divert their food waste to their food and garden waste bin (green lid).
Swap your bin size (Residential Units Only)
Residents living in units can now request changes to their mixed recycling (yellow lid) bin size and garden and organics (lime green lid) bin size.
