FLASHBACK: Cherbourg and South Burnett council staff and councillors at the Cherbourg MRF in January after the introduction of the recycling collections in the South Burnett<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

South Burnett Regional Council is seeking feedback from the community about how the region’s recycling bin service is going.<\/p>\n

Recycling has been a contentious issue in the South Burnett since before amalgamation but after multiple discussions in the SBRC, yellow-top bins finally began to be distributed around the region late last year.<\/p>\n

Collections began in January despite complaints from some residents on social media who resented being charged for the service.<\/p>\n

However, a Council spokesperson said this week that most residents had embraced the service which is diverting waste away from landfills.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is saving Council the cost of opening new landfills and minimising waste levy payments to the State Government.<\/p>\n

“For the continued success of the recycling service we encourage the community to complete the survey and share any tips or comments on how you recycle at home,” the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n
