In line with the Victorian Government's Recycling Victoria Policy, Murrindindi Shire Council is required to transition to a four-stream waste and recycling system and is considering how the new system will impact residents, businesses and ratepayers.
To help us understand what will work best for our community, Council is seeking your input on a range of factors that will shape the way future waste and recycling services are provided.
The four-stream system is separated into general rubbish, mixed recycling, glass recycling and food and garden organics. It will reduce the amount of waste going to landfill, reduce emissions and increase the volume and quality of recycled material produced for reuse.
The new system will come into effect in Murrindindi Shire in 2025, and Council is now planning for how best to implement these changes to ensure it meets the needs of our community.
Visit our online engagement platform, The Loop, where you can learn more and complete our survey. Surveys can also be completed at Council's Library and Customer Service Centres and Resource Recovery Centres. We need your feedback by Sunday 6 November.
We are also hosting several pop-up events during October and November where you can attend in person to learn more about these changes, chat to Council officers and ask any questions you may have. For those who can't make these events in person, we're also hosting online information sessions in October.
