has a large family with more than two children

We need a large garbage bin but will we have to pay more?

In early 2020, the Victorian Government announced that all local council waste services will transition to a four-bin service to reduce waste to landfill, improve the quality of recyclables and have a system that we can rely on.

This change will see the introduction of a new ‘glass only’ recycling stream and a food and garden organics (FOGO) service for all households in Victoria, including households with large families.

We understand that big families, like Max's, can produce more household waste, simply because there are more people at home.

We are keen to understand how any changes to our waste service can continue to meet the needs of large families, including sufficient bin sizes and how often your bins are picked up.

Which of the proposed options are best for you?

Should any groups be eligible for a concession on their waste charge? What kind of concession do you think they should receive?


Thank you for completing our survey.

Your feedback will help us draft an updated Kerbside Waste Service and Charges Policy that we will present later in 2021.
