The decision by the council to collect rubbish every second week is a very poor decision in light of the recent covid-19 pandemic. At least 15 million people died due not masking and poor sanitation and the Baw Baw shire wants to repeat this? The accumulation of festering, decomposing waste, not suitable to be handled sustainably will lead to leptospirosis, salmonella, malaria, cholera and the black plague 2.0. Does the shire want this responsibility on their hands? I would hope we have learned by now germs are meant to be taken seriously
Alisha supported: Reinstate weekly general waste collections in Baw Baw ShireI'm a veteran, and I live with a disability that makes driving around harder. Two weeks of rubbish piling up isn't just unpleasant for me, it's a real barrier. I can't always manage extra trips to the tip, and storing waste for that long isn't something my body copes with easily. I was already doing my part by recycling, composting what I could, keeping my waste down. And still I'm left with a bin I can't manage and no real support in place. I served this country, and now I can't get a straight answer from my own council about how I'm supposed to deal with my rubbish. We didn't ask for this. I just want our weekly bins back.
Ben supported: Reinstate weekly general waste collections in Baw Baw ShireQuite remarkable how the collection of rubbish and general sanitation has become an issue this far into the homo sapien timeline. I sincerely hope this isn't a cost-cutting measure wearing the skin of environmentalism but perhaps, charitably, that is assuming those in charge of making the decision put any thought into it. Rather embarrassing
Nigel supported: Reinstate weekly general waste collections in Baw Baw Shirespecial consideration doesn’t solve the fact that waste that can't be recycled will be rotting in a bin for 2 weeks. what a rort at least our rates will pay for a good xmas party
Terry Gosford supported: Reinstate weekly general waste collections in Baw Baw ShireWhere is the logic in this decision, I pay my rates for you to do your job. If you're only going to do half the job reduce my rates!
Daniel supported: Reinstate weekly general waste collections in Baw Baw ShireCouncil need to listen to the community and bring back weekly general waste collections or provide us with a bigger bin.
Martin supported: Reinstate weekly general waste collections in Baw Baw ShireWe call on Baw Baw Shire Council to reinstate weekly general waste collection! homes are already composting and feeding scraps to pets or livestock, meaning general waste volume for them has barely changed, council has ignored household sizes and critical needs people with medical or continence issues, all of whom cannot safely store this waste for two weeks. publish the bin audit data behind its diversion claims and consult with the community please!
Glenda supported: Reinstate weekly general waste collections in Baw Baw ShireThe frequency cut was not required by the state! Victoria's target requires FOGO access, not reduced general waste collection. Latrobe City meets the same target while keeping weekly collection — proving fortnightly general waste was Baw Baw's choice, not a condition of compliance.
