The Yarra Ranges Council has urged residents on its main website to not see red if their lid is still green.
Amongst the planned changes to the bins across the shire, the regular waste bins are having their lids changed out.
The council stated on its website that “65,000 bins is a wheelie lot to change, but please don’t worry. We’ve got a process in place to make sure all lids are changed in the coming weeks.”
The rubbish bin which will have the red lid is for rubbish that can’t be put into recycling or the FOGO bin.
This will be the same as for all rubbish bins in Victoria.
Rubbish bins will be collected fortnightly from 2 October 2023.
The council reassured residents that “There’s no need to call, please continue to leave your bin out on your collection day.”
