SURF Coast residents are being asked to plan for temporary changes to kerbside bin collections over the Christmas period, with adjusted pick-up days and extra services in place across the shire.<\/p>\n

Bins normally collected on Thursday, December 25 will be collected on Friday, December 26, and bins normally collected on Friday will be collected on December 27.<\/p>\n

Regular collections will resume on Monday, December 29.<\/p>\n

The Surf Coast Shire will also run additional waste and recycling collections Residents can check their additional pick-up dates on the Surf Coast Rubbish and Recycling app or download their kerbside calendar on the shire website.<\/p>\n

To keep collections running smoothly, households are advised to leave 50cm between each bin and at least 1m from fences and walls.<\/p>\n

Avoid overfilling, and remember: if you can’t move your bin, trucks won’t be able to lift it.<\/p>\n

Cr Paul Barker said said the changes were essential to help households cope with the surge in waste over the holiday period.<\/p>\n

“We know that many people accumulate extra rubbish across the Christmas\u2013New Year period, so these extra collections will help households manage this,” he said.<\/p>\n

Extreme weather may affect kerbside collections and the opening hours of the Anglesea and Lorne transfer stations, which will operate with extended hours through January.<\/p>\n

The Anglesea Transfer Station will be open to commercial waste contractors on Saturdays between December 20 and January 24, and will remain open to the public seven days a week, except Christmas Day.<\/p>\n

The Lorne Transfer Station will close at 2pm on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays between December 26 and January 26.<\/p>\n
