What causes garbage spillage?
Most spillage occurs due to the type of material being placed in the bin or the manner in which it is placed. Avoid spillage by not overfilling the bin. Flatten cardboard boxes before placing them in the bin and making sure that all recyclables fit in the bin with the lid closed – do not compact garbage. I recycle so much- I need another recycling bin An extra recycling bin can be provided at a reduced charge of $37.40 per year (appearing on your rates notice). However, if you change from a big garbage bin to a small garbage bin, Council will provide you with a second recycling bin FREE. This only applies to Penrith residents with a standard garbage service in single dwellings or dual occupancies. The small bin is a part of Penrith’s waste minimisation strategy to reduce household waste in conjunction with the recycle bin service and composting promotions. Residents who are keen recyclers can also request a second recycle bin at a reduced charge. Residents can request small garbage bin
