Your choice of bins: upsize, downsize

Residents will choose the size of their street-collection garbage bins next year. Greater Dandenong Council announced the choice of a 240-litre or a new jumbo sized 360-litre recycling bin, with smaller options for landfill waste and green organics bins. As reported by the Journal last week, the bin lids will be colour-coded red, yellow and green with price incentives to encourage smaller landfill-waste bins. Dandenong-based JJ Richards will be the council’s waste collector for the next eight years. Dandenong South-based Polytrade will receive recyclables.
