I live on acres. The red bin is just not big enough for 2 weeks. I do as much recycling etc as possible to cause as little impact to the environment as I can but this is just not sustainable for me. I now have rubbish outside my house which is causing problems to my property.
Michelle supported: Reinstate weekly general waste collections in Baw Baw ShireResidents can dispose of excess waste at the Drouin Civic Centre (Main Office) 33 Young St.
Baw Baw Shire supported: Reinstate weekly general waste collections in Baw Baw ShireThis is an absolute insult to large families and rural households in Baw Baw Shire who are already doing their best to compost organics at home. Many residents here are already skilled and proactive with waste diversion — yet Council is now reducing general waste collections to fortnightly without lowering rates or offering larger red bins at no extra charge.
It punishes responsible residents while ignoring the practical realities of bigger households, family pets, people with medical conditions and hobby farms.
Rosie 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.
jackie supported: Reinstate weekly general waste collections in Baw Baw ShireCouncil’s "SCP" offers a free extra 120 L red bin or upgrade to 240 L only for three groups: medical/disability, +2 kids under 4 in nappies, or large families in financial hardship; FOGO/fortnightly red bin system stays, with relief limited to most households, ratepayers are still expected to accept a reduced service.
This is limited damage control, not a real fix!
holding fortnightly general waste is inadequate!!
Joanne supported: Reinstate weekly general waste collections in Baw Baw ShireRates go up, service goes down! The money goes everywhere except the truck that used to come every week.
Bill supported: Reinstate weekly general waste collections in Baw Baw ShireSo here's the question: if all, or the majority of households are now having two red bins collected each fortnight isn't that effectively the same number of bin collections each month (same monthly waste)?
If that's the case, why has the burden been shifted onto residents instead of exploring the approach neighbouring councils have taken?
