I have had to put 3 garbage bags outside next to my bins waiting for my bin to be emptied fortnightly.
It smells and the birds have been ripping them apart.
Having a cat with dirty litter and my grandchildren dirty nappies.
It's a real health hazard.
Definitely not good enough.
I desperately need weekly garbage pick up.
It’s fair to ask why baw baw council - that can dedicate staff time and ratepayer money to a regional lobby group (Peri Urban Councils Victoria) with no verifiable outcomes or real purpose - can’t first get the basics of bin collection right in its own backyard. https://periurban.org.au/team/Blog%20Post%20Title%20One-3zaa9-adl2m-2ypms-tyw7d-py89g
the change went from 52 pickups a year to now 26. people are struggling!! bring back weekly collection!!! why wasnt the special consideration program ready before the july rollout?
Residents are calling on Baw Baw Shire Council to -
Reinstate weekly general waste collection.
Explain how charging residents for a second landfill-bound bin, on the same collection cycle, supports council's stated goal of reducing landfill waste.
Publish the data behind its waste diversion claims.

We already give all fogo to chooks and goats and burn garden waste so will have no use for extra green bin. Being on a hobby farm and business owners from same address we do generate more waste with feed bags, pet food, cattle medication, machinery parts and waste etc. Already struggling in the first fortnight of fogo, not going to work at all for us, just makes another bitter reason to be disappointed in Baw Baw shire. We are very environmentally focused but this was thrown upon everyone with no consultation. Weekly pick-up of our already smaller sized red bins is essential or there will be waste everywhere or people burning it. Please consider the general population as this greatly affects their lives.
Hygiene & waste kept for a fortnight is a ridiculous proposition. We have too much waste for a single bin being held over for 2 weeks, due to an health issue. Again not properly considered by the Baw Baw Shire council.
They need to support the proposed waste to energy plant for the Latrobe Valley, employment & other benefits with no land fill at all....
