Your bins are changing and we want to hear from you
Whitehorse households will move to a 4-bin waste and recycling service by 1 July 2027 as required by the Victorian Government to meet the Proposed Household Waste and Recycling Service Standards (2024).
We want to hear how we can make this service work best for you.
The 4-bins include:
- Food organics and garden organics (FOGO) service (lime-green lid)
- Mixed recycling service (yellow-lid)
- Glass recycling service (purple-lid)
- Garbage service (red-lid)
The size of each bin and how often they’re collected hasn’t been set by the Victorian Government. Each Council can decide to suit the local community.
To make sure there’s enough time to get ready, we want to hear your thoughts on how the 4-bin service can work best for you. Your input will help us plan a system that supports our goals of sending 80% less waste to landfill and aspire for net zero community emissions by 2040.
