Melbourne, VIC begins organic waste collection service for homes and apartments
Melbourne, VIC Organic Waste Collection Service
In Progress
Local officials anticipate weekly residential collection of food and garden waste throughout Melbourne by 2022. The program's initial stage serves 9,000 homes and single-floor rental units. Participants receive outdoor bins, kitchen caddies, and a year's supply of compostable caddy bags. Collected waste is converted to mulch for Melbourne's green spaces and gardens. The collection program is supported by council-sponsored webinars and book clubs on reducing waste.
