PURPLE Lid Bin – glass only – collection began earlier this month, and Greater Shepparton City Council reminds residents can check Council’s online bin calendar to view the specific dates of their bin collection.
The 120 litre Purple Lid Bin will be used to collect glass bottles and jars, both with and without lids, complimenting the Yellow Lid Bin mixed recycling, and will be collected every four weeks, on the same day as a household’s usual kerbside collection.
There is no service charge this financial year for the new Purple Lid Bin. The service charge will be included in annual rates and charges from 2024/2025, once the Budget is adopted at the June Council meeting.
Residents are reminded that some glass items, such as light globes and windowpanes, cannot be placed in the Purple Lid Bin. These items should be placed in the Red Lid Bin – general waste – or disposed of at their nearest Resource Recovery Centre.
For further information, please contact Council’s Resource Recovery team on 5232 9700 or email waste@shepparton.vic.gov.au
