Mount Gambier Changes Weekly Bin Pick-Up to Boost Green-Waste Use

Officials say the shift is meant to cut landfill through greater use of green bins.

Overview

  • The City of Mount Gambier announced Saturday that the weekly bin pick-up schedule will change to drive more use of the green organics bin.
  • Residents are being told they will need to adjust to a new collection schedule.
  • Key details such as the start date, the exact timetable, and which bins move on which weeks are not in the free reports.
  • The brief notice appears across several local outlets, with The South Eastern Times placing fuller information behind a subscription page.
  • Green bins take food scraps and garden waste that would otherwise go to landfill, so greater use can lower disposal costs and reduce emissions.
