Terms and Conditions
GENERAL
These terms and conditions apply to the City of Casey Rebates Program.
To apply for the rebate program, residents must complete an online application form via Rebately and read through the terms and conditions of this program. By submitting an application for a rebate, you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions. If your application does not comply with these terms and conditions, it will not be valid and will not be accepted or assessed.
It is important to read these terms and conditions in conjunction with any relevant information provided by City of Casey (the City) in relation to the City of Casey Rebates Program. The applicant must include all the attachments and required information in the application.
1. This rebate for the purchase of a compost bin, worm farm or bio-fermenter is open to households in the City of Casey only.
2 . For a unit to qualify as a compost bin it has to produce a compost product. Even if it is marketed as a compost bin, if it is only used for storage and transport of food scraps, then it is not considered a compost bin. E.g., kitchen counter-top caddies, sometimes labelled compost bins, are designed for the storage and transport of food scraps but will not produce any compost.
3. This rebate is for the purchase of a compost bin, worm farm, and bio-fermenter compost unit only. Transport costs and supplementary composting equipment (e.g. kitchen caddy) are not included in the rebate.
4. The rebate amount set for each item is capped at the specified amount. If the purchase price of the compost unit is less than the rebate cap, the resident will receive a rebate up to the purchase price.
5. One rebate per household after 1 January 2017. You must be the occupant of the property requesting the rebate.
6. Applications are to be submitted online. If an applicant does not have computer access, entries can be completed over the phone on 9705 5200 or at Customer Service.

8. Rebate cannot be used for ongoing consumables eg worms, bacteria, bio-fermenter liquid or grains.
9. Council is not responsible for the quality or purchase of the composting equipment.
