Gippswide Kerbside

All six Gippsland councils have signed a memorandum of understanding with the Gippsland Waste and Resource Recovery Group to explore the potential for joint procurement initiatives. Bringing together council kerbside bin collection and processing services could see a range of economic, social and environmental benefits for the region.

State Government Initiatives and Campaigns

Recycling Victoria

Transforming recycling in Victoria - a new, 10-year plan that will cut pollution and boost economic growth and jobs.

In partnership with local councils the Victorian Government will deliver a recycling system the communities can rely on through better household recycling, improved infrastructure and stronger industry regulation.

Recycling Victoria will change how Victorians recycle so that materials collected from households are high quality and can be used again to make new products.

What’s changing?

In the future, all Victorians will need to separate their waste into 4 streams so we can recycle more of our waste.

By 2030 a new 4-bin waste and recycling system will be standard for households across the state.
By 2022–23 we will introduce a container deposit scheme so you can swap empty cans and bottles for cash.
We are investing almost $100 million to strengthen Victoria’s waste and recycling industry – grow the local industry, create local jobs and drive innovation and new technologies.
We’ll also regulate the waste and recycling sector, as an essential service with a new waste and recycling Act and a waste authority – putting an end to illegal and unsafe storage and stockpiling of waste.
