There comes a point when a council's decisions become so disconnected from the people it is meant to serve that we can no longer accept them without challenge.
We must be the force that brings the machine to a halt. The council must understand one simple truth:
THE COUNCIL DOES NOT FUNCTION WITHOUT US.
We must make it clear to those who govern and those who influence them that unless they listen to the community and act on our legitimate concerns, the normal functioning of the shire will be disrupted through collective action!
BRING BACK THE BIN!

BRING BACK THE BIN!
Imagine the smell of the bins in summer with nappies and dog poo. Just another intelligent idea.
Households are already diverting food waste through composting and feeding pets, so general waste volume barely changes! yet council has completely ignored household size, young infants, elderly residents, and people with medical needs.
Rates are up while service reliability drops, and an extra bin now costs more, penalising those already doing the right thing!
FOGO waste is processed by a private operator in another municipality, raising the question of who actually benefits.?
Latrobe City runs FOGO and keeps weekly general waste collection, proving the FOGO "state mandate" doesn't require cutting red-bin services.
Rolled out with no meaningful consultation with ratepayers.
Absolutely disgraceful.

Waste collection is the thing local councils exist for. There needs to be a rethink of priorities.
Council should withdraw the purple bin immediately and restore the red bin weekly collection.
we are exhausted. four young kids one bin two weeks waiting, the smell the mess the constant worry about what to do next we were already doing everything right composting recycling, cutting back on plastic packageing why are we being made to pay more for reduced service and the special program you say will be decided in a few months is not good, I am very unhappy at councis choice
Reducing pick up of rubbish and not increasing the size of the bin ins ludicrous. 1 small FOGO bag in a large green bin picked up this week. A full rubbish bin now over flowing. Whoever allowed this to go through really did not think about real families and waste.
You’re not alone — a community of supporters is ready to back you.
