Declaration: By submitting this online form I hereby apply for an Exceptional Circumstances Waste Collection Service, as described in this application, in accordance with the conditions stated in the Notice to Applicant below.
1. Exceptional Circumstances (EC) aims to assist large families and households that produce nappies or domestic medical waste. Eligible households may apply for free collection of one additional 140L general waste bin fortnightly (in addition to the one 140L general waste bin fortnightly collection provided as part of your council rates). Households that fall into more than one category may be eligible for up to two EC general waste bins collected fortnightly (Please note that 240L general waste bins will not be collected).
2. Bins granted under Exceptional Circumstances are required to display the ‘exempt’ sticker provided by Council.
3. Applications for this service are required to be submitted annually. A renewal application will be issued prior to the end of the current financial year.
4. You are required to provide documentation (such as a driver’s license, passport or Medicare card) to prove your identity and circumstances, as part of this application.
5. Exceptional Circumstance bins will not be collected over part of the summer period. During this time blue waste bins will be collected weekly.
6. The Fleurieu Regional Waste Authority may conduct audits on EC bins.
7. To be eligible for an EC service, the applicant must not operate a business, which would generate more waste than the average household from the address.
8. If the Applicant no longer requires this service, it is the Applicant's responsibility to return the bin to the Fleurieu Regional Waste Authority.
9. If you do not wish for your details to be shared with Council’s subsidiary, please notify us in writing.
