Many residents have complained on social media about overfilled rubbish bins around Hepburn Shire over the holiday period.
Hepburn Shire Council Infrastucture and Delivery Director Bruce Lucas said kerbside pickups were completed daily except for Christmas Day and New Year’s Day when landfills and contractors were closed. “Council’s Parks and Works team also undertook some reactive collections. Feedback from contractors also suggests that some of our public bins received dumped household rubbish which contributed to this issue.”
