TALKING TRASH

How do we manage the issue of waste generation? The Victorian Government has announced that all of Victoria’s 79 local councils will be required to transition to a four-bin kerbside waste service by 2030. This is part of a $515 million reform of the recycling system to reduce waste to landfill, improve the quality of recyclables and implement a system that we can rely on. On this month’s Turn It Up episode, we talk waste and recycling with City of Monash Mayor Stuart James and Senior Sustainability Officer April Williams about their waste and recycling program, the government’s Recycling Victoria policy and how to manage the issue of waste generation.
