Last week, we published an article about the kerbside waste expansion, and locals had some thoughts.
Here’s what some of our Facebook readers had to say about the news…
Donna Parker: We pay over $1000 a year for a commercial bin which we use for our household rubbish, we don’t need another rubbish service.
Judy Allen: I think a bin service is great. About time. Had this in another area that was as rural as where I am now over 35 years ago. Especially with dump hours being drastically reduced.
Margaret Taylor: I definitely don’t want the bins! I can take my little bit of garbage to the tip every few weeks. Don’t want to pay for something I don’t need or want.
Dennise McKenzie: I’ve sent my objection. I, like many others, would have requested it if we needed. Another expense on those who can least afford. I take mine to the dump but it is such a small amount. Absolute waste of money. Are they that short of money ???
Anita Walters: I’m loving the expansion due to my father not being able to do the big tip runs anymore but I rang up and was happy to do voluntary because it suits our needs.
Carol Clark: If you read the article Vic has advised people to write, ring, petition during the trial period and give feedback so I hope those that want it and those that don’t do as he suggests
Elaine Nielsen: I take my rubbish to the transfer station every 3-4 weeks. That’s a 20km return journey, now at the ATO allowance for travel that’s $14.40 by 17 trips a year equates to $244.80 not $450 they are going to charge……not value for money.
Kirsty Smith: They literally just dropped 2 bins off at our place and no other information.
