Murray Bridge residents will receive new bins in May
Murray Bridge residents will get a win with new bins on their kerbside in the next month.
Residents of the Rural City of Murray Bridge are set to receive new bins in the next few weeks under a contract with Solo Resource Recovery.
The bin rollout was announced earlier in the year, standardising all kerbside bins across the Council area to ensure they meet correct size and colour standards.
Residents will not face additional costs as the replacement bins are included in Council's contract with Solo Resource Recovery.
Two community information sessions will be held in the Murray Bridge Library on Wednesday, April 30 from 11am-11.45pm and 4.30pm-5.15pm.
What will happen during the bin replacements?
- Residents will receive new bins in May 2025.
- Households with a three-bin system will exchange current bins, which are dark green with blue, yellow and dark green lids, for new black bins with red, yellow and green lids
- Households with a two-bin system will exchange current bins, which are dark green with blue and yellow lids, for new black bins with red and yellow lids
- All old bins will be recycled
Murray Bridge Mayor Wayne Thorley said the bin replacement program would reduce ongoing repair costs.
“Council places a high priority on managing our assets in a financially sustainable way,” he said.
Detailed information will be released in the lead-up, including an information pack that will be attached to the new bins when they are delivered.
This will include communication regarding timelines, instructions for the residents and waste education.
A flyer has started to hit community letterboxes with some early information.
