  • (1888PressRelease) September 22, 2016 - The ACT Government plans to roll out green bins across the ACT, with residents in Weston Creek, Kambah and Tuggeranong the first to get access as a part of Green Bin Pilot Program in early 2017. The harsh truth is that green bins for garden waste in Canberra will ruin Canberra's greatest recycling achievement.

    Canberra currently recycles 97.5% of its green waste each year. Green bins are destined to damage this world class model beyond repair and ACT rate payers will be paying up to $10 million per year for this to happen.

    Over the last 30 years, Canberra has developed its own extraordinary green waste remarkable model without a green bin service. The rate of all green waste generated in Canberra each year is stated as "international best practice" which is better than all other existing green waste recycling models.

    Currently, the New South Wales councils use green bins for garden waste in their areas and this green bin system produces unusable stockpiles of contaminated shredded green waste that is not fit for recycling. ACT labor party intends to introduce the same green bin model in Canberra in early 2017 and this is surely going to ruin Canberra's recent recycle achievement.

    The outcome of green bin pilot program will instantly result in huge reduction in recycling rates of green waste and will increase waste going to landfill. In other word, the ACT labor party's green bin program is going to damage Canberra's current recycling model beyond repair.
