I had thought council won't release garbage bin and recycle bin to the new house until you have a final Occupancy Certificate, or at least an Interim Occupancy Certificate, which means you are legally allowed to live in there.
It turned out Blacktown Council is happy to deliver bins to your new house if you ring them and tell them house has been completed and handed over to you. I have to say that's quite a considerable approach, because sometimes it takes a while to organise the final inspection and if there are some outstanding items to address, the Occupancy Certificate may take a while to complete.
But then again you would have started paying rates once you have purchased the land so after all you are getting the services you have already been paying for!
