If you want to have more than one glass crate or more than one recycling bin you will need to pay $196 including GST for each bin extra per year.
  3. Recycling containers are supplied free for new houses that are built in Buller. If you lose or damage your recycling containers, there will be a charge for a new one. The price is $135 incl. GST for wheelie bins and $33 incl GST for glass crate. It is the responsibility of the property owner to cover the cost for a bin replacement.
