REVIEW OF WASTE SERVICES IN VILLAGESCouncil has identified an opportunity to provide a kerb side waste collection service to the villages of Caragabal, Quandialla and Bimbi, along with an expansion of the service currently provided to the village of Greenethorpe.
It is proposed to provide a general waste and recycling kerb side pick-up service to the villages of Caragabal, Quandialla, Bimbi and Greenethorpe. This service would be an alternating weekly service, meaning a general waste pickup one week and then a recycling pick up the following week.
An annual village waste charge of $350.00 per year per service is proposed which will include both general waste and recycling. This charge has been calculated so as to not exceed the reasonable costs to Council for providing the proposed service. A 240L general waste bin and a 240L recycling bin would be provided as part of each service where required at no cost.
It is important to note that in accordance with the Local Government Act 1993, all properties containing a dwelling within the proposed service areas would be subject to the new service and therefore be required to pay the annual waste charge, regardless of whether the service is utilised or not.
As part of the proposal it is also intended to relocate the bank of recycling bins located within the villages of Caragabal and Quandialla to the respective waste facilities in those locations. This will continue to allow residents located within the rural areas of the villages to have access to recycling facilities. Residents within the villages of Caragabal, Quandialla and Bimbi would also continue to have access to these facilities.
If you wish to make a submission or provide comments in relation to the proposed village waste collection service, you can do so in writing by 24th December 2021.
All submission or comments must be in writing and addressed to The General Manager, Weddin Shire Council, by mail at PO Box 125 Grenfell NSW 2810 or by email at .
