RECYCLING 2.0 MASTEC rolls out new bins for Hobson Bay City Council's new 4-bin residential collection service

摘要

Hobsons Bay City Council is one of the first Victorian councils to adopt the new 4-bin residential collection system, which is a key component of the Victorian State Government's $300 million 10-year Recycling Victoria package. Developed in the wake of the SKM recycling crisis, which impacted some 33 councils across Victoria, the Recycling Victoria package includes some $129 million of initiatives aimed at totally reforming kerbside recycling throughout the state. The cornerstone of these reforms involves a move to expanded residential kerbside services featuring four colour-coded bins. By improving sorting and separation of waste, recyclables and organics at the source, the new 4-bin system will help simplify and streamline processing of each of the material streams. This, in turn, is expected to play a major role in helping to minimise contamination within the processed recyclables streams.
