Green and food waste collection – some reminders
By getting a green waste bin from the Shire for food and garden waste, you can reduce the Peninsula landfill bin volume by up to 45%, reducing the cost of waste disposal and getting us closer to Net Zero emissions by 2040.
Green waste bins cost $173 per bin per year.
All food waste is accepted with the exception of oyster shells which take too long to compost.
Animal waste must not go in this bin.
A complimentary kitchen caddy and compostable bin liners are available.
