Pause upcoming collections up until 48 hours prior to your collection day. You can pause a single collection, or you can set up a longer pause that opts you out of all collections for the selected period.

You will not be charged for any collections you have paused.

Credit card transactions are usually declined due to insufficient funds, an expired credit card number, an incorrect credit card number, or because the credit card has been blocked. You can update your credit card details at any time by logging in to PayAsuGO, navigating to Payments and selecting Card Details.

If you have missed a payment you can also top up at any time on PayAsUGO by logging in and using the menu in top left-hand corner of your screen to navigate to Payments. Click on Make a Top-up, enter how much you would like to top-up by, select Pay and enter your credit card details.

Your minimum required balance is the minimum amount that needs to be in your account so you can be charged for your scheduled collection(s). It is the price of one collection per bin.

The minimum required balance must available and in your account at least four days before your scheduled collection. For example, if your collection day is Friday your account must be topped up by Monday.

If your account balance falls below this amount, your account will automatically be topped-up by the difference, so it maintains the minimum required balance. If we cannot top up your account, future collections will be automatically suspended until you manually top up.

Your auto top-up amount is automatically calculated based on the difference between your account balance and your minimum required balance. Once the auto top-up is done, you can see this charge in your transaction history.

You can no longer set an auto top-up amount. However, you can make a one-off payment of any amount. Simply sign in to your account and select “Make a Top Up” in the Payments section.

You can suspend your collection any time up until 48 hours before it is scheduled. This is to allow time to adjust the collection route.

For example, if your collection is on a Friday, then any suspension must be completed in PayAsUGO before 7am on the Wednesday before the collection.

Charges for collections can take two business days to be processed.
