Hey Guys,
Been using the Waste Management 80Litre wheelie bins service for years. Was paying about $65 per 6 months for weekly collection which was cheaper than the council system at the time.
Just wondering what everyone else uses? I just got the invoice for next 6 months @ $125 for another 6 months - and when I queried why its doubled - I got this:
The increase reflects market changes which have influenced our operating costs, and costs associated with the Emissions Trading Scheme. In addition, the Government is increasing and expanding the Waste Disposal Levy, meaning it will become more expensive to dispose of waste at landfill.
So looking for recommendations, suppose the council bin with tags is the way to go - prob is I hear the tags get nicked in my woods….
Make sure you write your address on the tag before putting it out - it does seem to dissuade those that would steal them, but sometimes it is just kids, rather than theft per se.
I am hoping the tags will go away - it makes no sense to me, having two people collecting rubbish (one to get tags, and one to drive the truck), when it was being done by one person previously (and still is for the recycling bins).
