GREEN bin lids in Frankston will be replaced during upcoming collections.
Residents will have one of their green lids replaced with a red lid. The red bins will be used for rubbish, green for food and garden waste, and yellow for recycling.
Frankston Council says the “relatively low-cost change” will help residents understand what waste goes into which bin. “The changes make it easier for residents to identify where their waste and recycling should go, further reducing resource loss that occurs when items are incorrectly placed in bins,” the mayor Nathan Conroy said.
“We needed a clear message on which bin corresponds to which waste or recycling product. We’ll no longer have two green bins, which sometimes creates confusion when communicating ways to divert waste from landfill. The change is easy – simply take your garbage bin out to your nature strip on your regular bin night, and we’ll swap the lid over for you.”
