Banyule, VIC shapes citywide collection program with Food and Garden Waste Community Trial

Banyule, VIC Food and Garden Waste Community Trial

Council leaders established a goal of eliminating landfill waste by 2030. Five hundred homes participated in a two-month organic waste diversion pilot that moves the city toward this goal. Each participant received a kitchen caddy and curbside bin for weekly collection. Banyule reduced general waste collections from weekly to biweekly due to decreases in bin fill levels. A post-trial survey generated data on behavioral changes and collection experiences for program development.
