People living in the Knox City LGA will have a green waste bin delivered between 20 April and 28 April if they don’t already have one, alongside a kitchen caddy and information about the new food and garden bin service.
“For all other households who do have a green waste bin, from 1 May to 9 June we will be replacing the current red lid and replacing it with a new lime green bin lid, and also delivering a kitchen caddy and helpful information about the new food and garden bin service,” Knox City Council said.
“Once you get your new bin or your bin lid has changed, you can add food scraps to your bin. The new lime green lid will comply with Australian standards and have helpful information about what does and does not go into the bin. The old red lids will be recycled into new bins.”
People should put the green waste bin out on their regular collection day, even if it is empty, and keep it out until 6pm so the council can replace the lid.
“This job will take time so if your bin lid is not changed, please put it out in the next fortnight until 9 June. If your lid hasn’t been changed by then, please call us on 9298 8000 and we’ll arrange for it to be replaced,” the council said.
“Kitchen caddies will be either attached to the bin or, if your bin is full when we deliver them, placed beside the bin or letterbox.”
The green bin will be collected fortnightly until the end of June. From July, the green bin will be collected weekly and the household rubbish bin fortnightly.
There will be no changes to recycling bins or bundled branch collections.
