Free green-waste month in Hindmarsh

Hindmarsh Shire Council has advised that due to easing COVID-19 restrictions it will now push ahead with a free green-waste month promotion.

A free green-waste service will operate at all council transfer stations during normal operating hours until October 10.

The project is aimed at encouraging residents to tidy their yards before the onset of warmer weather and the start of the fire-danger period.

Hindmarsh mayor Ron Ismay said the promotion provided a great opportunity for people to enjoy the spring weather while exercising at the same time.

“It also gives residents a great opportunity to clean up their properties,” he said.

Waste transfer stations are at Dimboola, Jeparit, Nhill and Rainbow.
