Brisbane Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner has handed down his budget with rates to rise.

There are a host of changes in the $4.1 billion budget including new green bins, $18 million for the Story Bridge and $500,000 for the homeless.

Adrian Schrinner told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, “What we’re doing now is effectively making the green bin like the yellow top bin.”

The Lord Mayor confirmed that even if residents decide to opt out of recieving a green bin, they will still be required to pay the fee.
