Update on the New Kerbside Glass Bin Service
At the June 2026 Council Meeting, a decision was made to delay the rollout of purple glass bins and expansion of the FOGO(Food Organics and Garden Organics) bin service.
The State Government has required councils to introduce these bins by July 2027. However, with the success of the Container Deposit Scheme and the high cost of adding a fourth bin, many councils are questioning whether this is still needed.
More than 30 councils including Greater Dandenong are now asking the state government to reconsider. As part of this, our Council voted to delay introducing the bins.
