Thousands of Melbourne residents will be expected to take their glass rubbish to communal drop-off points when councils begin rolling out Victoria’s new four-bin system this year.
But not all properties, particularly apartment complexes, will have room to accommodate all four bins. During the trial, 42 per cent of glass waste bins were put out for collection each fortnight, and bins that were placed out were only a quarter full.Seventy per cent of the total volume of glass collected during the trial was picked up from the communal bins.
But about 1700 households may need to use drop-off points instead of shared or individual purple bins, the council said. Those residents will be informed from April. “I’d encourage councils to do their best to support separation at the source in ways that are harmonised around the state,” she said.
oh the humanity!!!!!
