To put a textile recycling bin on Council land, commercial operators and not-for-profit organisations need to follow these steps.

To begin, complete a Textile recycling bin license application form with the following information:

  • A plan showing the dimension and location of the bin/s (maximum 2 bins per location)
  • A copy of your current public liability insurance certificate for a minimum cover of $10 million.

Your application will be assessed within 28 days. This is due to multiple teams at Council needing to review your application.
