New 3 Bin System - Urana and surrounding villages

Published on 22 May 2024

Federation Council will introduce a new system of waste collection from July 2024 to divert organics away from landfill for Urana and surrounding villages and some of our southern villages.

The new “3 bin” system will allow food and garden waste to be collected from households. Households will receive three separate 240-litre bins, with organics collected weekly, and recycling and general waste collected fortnightly.

A new red lid bin for rubbish, a yellow lid bin for recycling and green lid bin for organics will be provided.

In June, the following areas will be delivered new bins, a kitchen caddy, a collection calendar, compostable liners and an information pack to explain these changes.

With the new 3 bin system you'll have more space which means less waste that will end up in landfill which is better for our environment and our future.

The new system will begin in July 2024.
