Background:

At its July Ordinary Meeting, Council resolved to implement a three-bin service which will come into effect in 2024 and provide Leeton residents on the bin collection route with an additional 240L green-lidded bin added to their existing 240L red and 240L yellow wheelie bins.

Residents will be pleased to hear that Council is going to be able to implement the third bin without the need for any fee increase to kerbside collection charges (beyond annual CPI). This is due to the contract cost of the new three-bin service coming out at a very competitive rate as a result of the joint procurement tender with several other councils which has helped drive greater efficiencies.

Implementing FOGO by 2024/25 also ensured maximum grant funding ($228K) was secured through the NSW Government's “GO FOGO” grant program to support the roll-out of this new service.

The green bins will be used for food and garden (FOGO) waste – which will be collected and turned into compost for re-use on farms and in gardens.

Objective:

The purpose of this survey is to understand how the community would like to receive communication materials about the upcoming changes and how to use the new service.

✍️ The community is encouraged to provide feedback to Council via the following methods:

  • Complete the survey at the bottom of this page
  • In writing addressed to the General Manager by post or emailed to council@leeton.nsw.gov.au

⏰ Responses to the survey will be accepted until Wednesday, 20 September 2023.
