A council in Melbourne's outer-east is facing pressure from within to go back to weekly general rubbish pick-up after ratepayers complained about overflowing bins.
Knox council made the change in July last year, blaming the rising costs of waste disposal.
But local councilor Darren Pearce says reverting back to weekly would only cost ratepayers "10 cents a day".
"I've put another resolution up for the meeting at the end of May and that will be for an extra contract that is purely for the yellow waste bin collection," Pearce told 9News.
"There would be an increase (for ratepayers) of $37 a year but we would be able to increase the frequency."
A previous push was struck down by Pearce's fellow councilors.
Knox mayor Jude Dwight says the current system has been well received by many residents, stressing it's the most cost-efficient way to manage waste.
"To apply this across the board means the people who don't require that service also have to pay for it," Dwight said.
"We do recognise a small number of households are still requiring assistance to adjust to the change and I think that's where our energies are best used."
Across Victoria, the march towards fortnightly general rubbish pick-up is well underway.
Among the other councils where it's happening: Manningham, Booroondara, Monash and Glen Eira.
Lysterfield resident Rick Harris told 9News he and his family struggle with only having the household rubbish bins picked up once every two weeks and says he's noticed more trash littering the streets and parklands.
"When it overflows, the rubbish gets blown around the street, which is great for the crows," he said.
