Waste exemptions and Community event bins

We offer exemptions from waste disposal charges to community organisations within Logan. This is part of our sustainable and cost-effective Waste Management Strategy.

General waste disposal exemption

Approved community organisations can receive up to $3,000 per financial year to use towards waste disposal at our facilities. 

The exemption voucher can only be used to dispose of waste that the organisation itself has generated. Disposal of personal / household waste is not permitted.

For more information about waste disposal fees or to find your nearest waste and recycling facility, please download the Waste fee schedule (PDF 3.5 MB).

Who can apply

Groups that apply for the exemption must operate within Logan. Types of approved groups include:

  • charities and community purpose organisations
  • community based sporting groups
  • community based non-profit organisations
  • schools.

How to apply

To apply, please fill in our online form. If your application is successful you will be issued with a waste exemption voucher which is valid for the current financial year. You will need to re-apply each year to continue receiving the exemption. Please submit the application at least 7 business days before exemption is required.

Community event bins

We allow approved organisations hosting a community event within Logan up to $400 per financial year to use towards 240L standard or recycle bins for events. On average, these funds will allow for up to 47 waste or recycling bins.

Who can apply

Groups that apply for the funding must operate within Logan. Types of approved groups include:

  • charities and community purpose organisations
  • community based sporting groups
  • community based non-profit organisations
  • schools.

If you are not one of these approved groups, you can still hire special event bins from Council.

How to apply

To apply, please fill in our online form. You must complete the online form and submit all supporting documents at least 7 business days before the event date. Bins for weekend events will be delivered on the Friday before the event and will be removed the following Monday (or Tuesday if Monday is a Public Holiday).
