Delayed bin collections

Hobsons Bay and neighbouring councils are experiencing delayed waste collections due to driver shortages. Unfortunately, disruptions are expected to continue whilst more drivers are recruited and trained which takes at least six weeks. During this time, please put bins out as normal and leave them until emptied. Thank you for your patience.
