Brian supported: Reinstate weekly general waste collections in Baw Baw ShireHappy to lose the purple bin that never gets used. Happy to have the green bin collected fortnightly during winter, and weekly during Spring/Summer/Autumn. Happy for council to look at cost cutting that is separate from the basic services we pay for and need.
Jeremy supported: Reinstate weekly general waste collections in Baw Baw ShirePaying MORE for a second bin that gets picked up just as rarely, we compost, we recycle, we do everything right & STILL get punished.
Jess supported: Reinstate weekly general waste collections in Baw Baw ShireThe green bin is your personal little hell portal. Weekly you must confront the stench of your own consumption. ~Namaste ;(
Dev supported: Reinstate weekly general waste collections in Baw Baw ShireThe landfill levy Baw Baw pays per tonne has risen sharply in recent years. Cutting general waste collection in half reduces council's own levy bill, independent of any genuine reduction in what households produce.
Mark supported: Reinstate weekly general waste collections in Baw Baw ShirePut all your dog shit and nappies in the "fogoff" bin — clog it up, stink it out, and make the system deal with its own mess. if they want to dump the problem on everyone else, dump it right back. enough is enough. stop pretending this is acceptable. we're sick of being ignored, sick of the excuses, and sick of paying the price for someone else's bad decisions. the outrage is real, and it's only growing!
Jack supported: Reinstate weekly general waste collections in Baw Baw ShireWith Mawlid celebrations approaching in August and plenty of family gatherings, I’m concerned there will be a lot more food packaging waste. I’m worried about garbage being left all over our street were my kids play. The council is really messing up with this *sceme/scam. We really need to organise a public protest.
Zakariya supported: Reinstate weekly general waste collections in Baw Baw ShireAll my green waste goes into composting. But my red bin is full by the end of every week. Having the red bin collected only fortnightly is bloody ridiculous.
