Consultation has concluded
Council is seeking feedback from residents on the delivery of a glass-only service for kerbside collections set to commence in 2023.
Background
Corangamite has been working to find solutions that will meet our community needs and the requirements of the new state government legislation. Research into the recycling industry has found introducing a glass-only service will reduce contamination in the yellow comingled recycling bin with broken glass. This will mean less plastic, paper and cardboard materials will be sent to landfill because of contamination.
Corangamite Shire has been calculating the expected yearly volumes of glass. Using recent data 25% of the recycling collected by weight is glass, which calculates to almost 400 tonnes collected a year. With the introduction of the Container Deposit Scheme (CDS) further reduction in glass volumes and other materials in the recycling bin is expected.
Introducing a glass only kerbside bin aligns with Council's Resource Recovery and Waste Management Strategy to reduce waste generation, increase resource recovery to extend the lifecycle of materials. It also meets our 2021-2025 Council Plan - Theme 4, Improving our Environment.
