Background: four bins for all Victorians

In February 2020, the Victorian Government delivered a 10-year action plan to reform Victoria’s waste and recycling industry. Titled Recycling Victoria: a new economy, the policy outlines the benefits of a circular economy approach to the use of our resources. This includes the introduction of a four-bin kerbside collection system for all Victorians. 

What is a circular economy? 

A circular economy reduces the reliance on natural resources by designing a production system that favours reuse, repair and, recycling. This has far reaching benefits for the residents of Hobsons Bay and broader Victorian community.

By 2030, the Victorian Government aims to divert 80 per cent of all waste from landfill. This will see a large investment in local recycling infrastructure and is projected to create 3900 jobs.

Hobsons Bay City Council seized the opportunity to respond to the ‘recycling crisis’, acting quickly to prioritise plans in the Waste and Litter Management Strategy 2025.
