Bin night in Wyndham will soon resemble those across the rest of Victoria, with standardised lid colours to be introduced over the coming months.
Starting in October, bin lids will be replaced with new coloured lids on the days that
garbage and recycling bins are collected.
Bin colours will be updated so that garbage bins will have a red lid and recycling bins
will have a yellow lid.
There will be no change to green waste bins.
This update will ensure that Wyndham’s bin colours align with the standard bin
colour scheme across Victoria and make it easier for residents to put the right thing into
the right bin, no matter where they are.
Wyndham mayor Susan McIntyre asked residents to be patient during the changeover period.
“The roll-out of new bins is complex and will take time,” Cr McIntyre said.
“Please keep a lookout in your letterbox for a postcard that will tell you when we start the process in your area or check your address on our website.
It may take several weeks for our contractors to change the lids in your area, so
please leave out your bins on your collection day until 6pm, until your lid has
changed.”
Council workers will also be repairing and replacing broken bins as they
move through the municipality changing the lids.
There is no additional fee for the new lids and the project cost has been covered by
the waste charge.
