Council is working towards Victorian Government waste standardisation requirements which make it easier for residents to sort material at home, reduce contamination, increase recovery and reduce waste to landfill.

All Victorian councils will be required to offer a standardised four-stream bin system with separate services for:

• glass recycling

• food and garden organics

• mixed recycling

• general rubbish.

We currently offer:

• general rubbish (township and rural fortnightly service)

• mixed recycling (currently includes glass) – fortnightly service, drop off at transfer stations

• food and garden organics (townships weekly service), drop off organics

• glass drop off (optional) at transfer stations

Surveys closed Monday 19 May. Thank you to those who submitted feedback.

The information gathered will be used to help prepare a plan for the next few years as the team work towards meeting the Victorian Government Recycling Victoria policy.

A summary of a report provided to the Council will be provided on this page.
