Should I foot the cost?

I am saving for a mortgage and have halved all my expenses by shopping around electric bills, nbn and reduced all expenses to 2500 plus rent on top i am aggressively saving.

I am a renter at the moment with no green bin supplied and I can apply for one and pay $81 per year. Do you think this is a justified cost if it is only to save me time condensing my garden waste. Would you be pushing the landlord to foot the cost when its down to convenience? For context the garden is a mini forest that requires so much upkeep to stop it from looking feral and I am limited on the pruning each week because of space in the red bin. I know $81 in the grand scheme of things is not much but I have alot to make up for with wasted time. I am scrutinising every dollar that leaves my account until I have a home.
