Request for new waste services

All new waste service requests must be submitted to Solo Resource Recovery, who will obtain approval from Council. A fee will be charged for any new or additional service that is approved.

If you are a tenant, please contact your property manager or landlord to request a service. 

If you wish to lodge a complaint in relation to the kerbside collection service, it is preferred that you log this directly with Solo Resource Recovery.  However, in some instances, this may not be appropriate and Council will assist when you lodge a request for service.
