Whose responsibility is it to take out the bins on a weekly basis? If I don’t do it, nobody does.

Whose responsibility is it to take out the bins on a weekly basis? We have a communal bin area but each unit has its own bins.

No one else takes any action so it falls to me each week. If I don’t do it, they won't get emptied. I’ve left their full bins and they just keep piling up their rubbish in the bin area or use my empty bin.

How do I get everyone to take their own bin out or take it in turns?

Constant reminders are needed to ensure residents are using the correct bins and taking them out.

If each unit has its own bins, they need to take out their bins and bring them back. It does assist if bins are clearly marked but the strata company may need to send constant communication to remind people to take out their bins. It can also be raised in the annual general meeting and documented.

Does your complex have a ‘Welcome Pack’? If so, bin requirements can be added so each new resident is also aware. When it comes to the communal bin store, unfortunately, constant reminders are needed to ensure residents are using the correct bins and taking them out.
