Under the new system, most households will receive a 140-litre general waste bin with a red lid, two 240-litre bins for garden waste (green) and recycling (yellow).
Houses under 400sq m will not automatically receive a garden bin but can request one free-of-charge after June.

The City's new waste collection system includes changes to verge collections, with green waste verge collections increasing from an annual service to a nine-month cycle.

"It would be great if residents could consider how they might like to sort the rubbish inside their home before popping it into the different bins," he said. The City recently launched the www.mynewbins.com.au website to provide more information to residents.
