Price increase for stickers and tags
The pre-paid price of rubbish stickers and wheelie bin tags are doubling from 1 July 2025. This is because the cost of waste services has risen considerably since the last sticker and tag increase in 2018. For example, the gate fees at landfill have risen from $81 per tonne to $191 per tonne today in 2025.
