Federation Council wishes to advise residents and visitors that additional waste services will be implemented over the busy Christmas and New Year period to manage the influx of waste generated over this time.

Council will provide skips bins at the Mulwala Transfer Station from Thursday 24 December 2020 to the end of January 2021 as an additional service. The facility is located at Barooga Road, Mulwala and access to the skip bins will be available 24 hours a day for the purpose of disposing of domestic waste.

Information signage will be placed in key parks throughout Mulwala to advise and encourage residents and visitors to dispose of their waste in the skip bins located at the Mulwala Transfer Station.

Residents and visitors located in our northern communities can dispose of waste at the skip bins available in Urana at the Victoria Park Recreation ground and at Oaklands on the corner of Thompson and Gunambil Street behind the Oaklands Recreation reserve.

The Corowa and Howlong Waste Facilities will be operating as per normal hours over the Christmas and New Year period.

Bins that are located in public parks and gardens across the Federation Council area will be emptied daily over the Christmas and New Year period.

The kerbside bin collection services for all towns will operate as usual over the Christmas and New Year period with residents reminded to place their bins out for collection the night prior.

Businesses are reminded that commercial waste is required to be disposed of at a waste facility. The additional services organised over the Christmas and New Year period are specifically for accommodating the additional domestic waste generated over the festive season.

Federation Council Mayor, Cr Patrick Bourke said, “For the enjoyment of all visitors and residents, Council is requesting that waste is disposed of firstly in your kerbside bin and where required at your nearest Waste Facility or in town skip bin service.”

“The additional service of providing skip bins at some locations has been organised to manage overflow domestic waste so it can be collected and disposed of away from spaces that are highly visible and used by our visitors and residents.”

“We encourage residents to firstly take advantage of the local Waste Facilities and make arrangements where possible to take their own rubbish away,” he said.

Council wishes to remind residents and visitors that littering and illegal dumping in parks is prohibited. Penalties apply under the Section 632 Local Government Act 1993.
