There will be no Council kerbside collection on Christmas Day, Monday 25 December which means that during the week following Christmas, from Boxing Day, Tuesday 26 December until Saturday, 30 December, kerbside collection services will operate one day late.
Director Sustainability Michael Sharp said that the Christmas public holiday would affect the whole of Campaspe shire.
"If your usual collection day is Monday, your bins will be collected on Tuesday; if your usual collection day is Tuesday, bins will be collected Wednesday and so on until Saturday, 30 December.
"Kerbside collection services will resume as normal from Monday, 1 January 2024," Mr Sharp added.
Collection dates across the municipality will change as follows:
Usual collection day Change to
Monday, 25 December Tuesday, 26 December
Tuesday, 26 December Wednesday, 27 December
Wednesday, 27 December Thursday, 28 December
Thursday, 28 December Friday, 29 December
Friday, 29 December Saturday, 30 December
"As always, to ensure your bins are collected, please place them outside the night before. Then you can relax, and enjoy a sleep-in, not worrying about your bin being missed," said Mr Sharp.
If for some reason a collection is missed, residents can always take their rubbish to any of Campaspe's Resource Recovery Centres Colbinabbin, Echuca, Gunbower, Lockington, Mount Scobie, Rochester, Rushworth and Toolleen for a fee. Recycling (items you would normally put in your yellow lid bin) can be taken to any of the transfer stations at no charge.
