The bins, a year supply of biobags (a roll of 150 bags), a sticker and an instruction leaflet will be delivered to homes in Eastgrove next week.

Residents will then be asked to collect kitchen waste in the bins and biobags - including raw or cooked food, tea bags, coffee grounds, fruit and vegetables, peelings, leftovers, paper towels, meat and fish.

This kitchen waste then goes in the 240 litre greenwaste bins for collection - before being taken to Goulburn Waste Management Centre where it is transformed into high quality compost and provided to local farmers to help improve agricultural soils.
