Does Domestic Waste Sustainable Service 1 @ $455 mean the same thing as Domestic Waste Sustainable Service (1 x $455)?

Because that's what I think it might be saying. For example it could say Domestic Waste Sustainable Service 2 @ $900 if you get my meaning.

Yep, based on price, that's the one. Still, they should make it easier. If they asking people to check, they should at least tell people where to check and use the same terminology.

Do the garbos need to know what plan each individual residence is on? How do they know about plan changes as renters come and go? That sounds like a lot of admin overhead somewhere.

Our council didn't give us a choice. They just rolled out option #2 for everyone. On the plus side, they didn't charge us $553.

How do those garbage fees work? Are they on top of regular rates? Do they reduce rates and then you pick your waste plan after?
