The rollout of new red-lidded general waste bins to all properties within the collection area commences this week.
These red-lidded bins remain the property of the waste collection contractor Cleanaway and replace the existing green lidded bins, which will no longer be collected.
The green-lidded bins will remain the property of the landowner and can be used for purposes other than kerbside collection.
The contract with Cleanaway includes the purchase of a $400,000 truck to provide the weekly general waste service and fortnightly recycling service to residents of Narrandera, Barellan and Grong Grong.
The new $400,000 Volvo side-lift truck with a Superior Pak body has the latest Euro 6 low emissions and low noise engine technology, which is better for the people of the Shire.
