Beach box owners are taking legal action to avoid paying a waste services levy, arguing the $241 fee should be binned because they aren't provided garbage collection.

The Mornington Peninsula Beach Box Association filed an application in the Supreme Court last week for a judicial review of the bin tax, which was included on their members' most recent rates bills.

The group believes they shouldn't have to stump up the same fee as other Mornington Peninsula Shire ratepayers when they have no council-issued wheely bins or any roads for a garbage truck to drive down to collect them.

"It's essentially a fee for no service," said Mornington Peninsula Beach Box Association president Chris Maine.
