Wyndham council is moving 2900 kerbside bin collections in Werribee to a different day of the week.
Households in the Harpley Estate now need to put their bins out for a Thursday morning collection, rather than a Friday collection.
Residents living in the area bounded by the Princes Freeway, Werribee River, Synnot Street and College Road will also have their bin collection day moved to Thursdays.
The council has advised residents of these areas to put their bins out on Wednesday nights, ahead of rubbish trucks coming to empty them the following morning.
The change will affect all three of Wyndham’s bin collections – garbage, recycling and green bins – as well as hard waste collections.
The council has issued a notice which states that Friday is their busiest day for bin and hard waste collections.
“By moving some households collections to Thursday, will mean a more balanced schedule and improved service to residents,” the notice read.
Every household affected by the changes has been notified with a flyer from the council and an updated waste calendar.
The last Friday bin collection for these households took place on Friday, November 5.
However, the council’s rubbish contractor will keep collecting bins on Saturdays in the affected areas for a couple of weeks, while people get used to the changed schedule.
Wyndham council has each suburb’s bin collection day listed on its website, details: https://digital.wyndham.vic.gov.au/myWyndham/ or contact 1300 023 411.
