Food and organics waste to be composted in new service
The City of Melbourne is introducing a new food and organics collection service to help local residents reduce the amount of waste going to landfill.
As part of the service, residents living in houses and single-storey apartment blocks will be provided with:
A new lime-green wheelie bin for food and organic waste (120 litre)
a kitchen caddy for collecting food scraps, and
a roll of 52 compostable bin liners to help keep their new bin free of odours, which will be supplied for free on an ongoing basis.
Lord Mayor Sally Capp said more than 9000 homes will receive the initial service before the rollout continues more widely across the municipality in 2022.
