Rubbish Collection Changes
The Shire of Mingenew recently called tenders for its refuse collection and disposal service. The successful contractor was Cleanaway of Geraldton, which will provide the service from Monday 23 September 2019. Avon Waste will continue to provide its regular service until the week ending 20 September.
There will be several changes as a result of the new contract:
- Collection days will alter. From 23 September 2019, the collection day for residential bins will change to Monday;
- The new Cleanaway bins will be distributed during the week starting 16 September 2019;
- Some roadside rest stop bins outside of the townsite (e.g. Enanty Barn, Yandanooka) will be collected by the contractor;
- Rural properties along the collection truck routes will now have the option to have a weekly domestic (or in some cases, fortnightly commercial-sized) bin collected as part of the normal Shire of Mingenew collection service.
The Cleanaway contract and new collection days/times will take effect from Monday 23 September 2019 according to the below:
