Kerbside recycling to continue in Loddon Shire

Published on 18 February 2020

Council received confirmation on Monday 17 February 2020,that its contractor Veolia has recommenced the processing of recyclables at the Echuca Materials Recovery Facility (MRF).

Council is committed to maintaining its recycling services to residents and will continue to work with Veolia to improve the quality of materials being recycled whilst investigating alternatives within the terms of its contract

Meanwhile, it is important for all of us to look at ways in which we can reduce waste. This includes limiting the use of single-use and disposable products and trying to choose alternatives which can be used again.

Putting the wrong materials in your recycling bin may lead to large amounts of recyclable material being sent to landfill. Never put items for recycling in plastic bags but rather, keep them loose in the recycling bin. Plastic bags and other soft plastic should not be placed in your recycling bin but dropped off at collection points such as participating supermarkets.

We urge all residents to continue to recycle residents can check Council’s website at www.loddon.vic.gov.au/For-residents/Your-home/Garbage-and-recycling/Garbage-and-recycle-service to find out what can and cannot be recycled in their area.
