Here is some more information about extra green bin collection and kerbside collection from Blue Mountains Council ๐Ÿ™‚๐—ช๐—ฒ ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฒ ๐—ฒ๐˜…๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐˜„๐˜€! The waste services trial we ran last year was a success and weโ€™re pleased to announce that all the services you trialled for us, are now here to stay.

Thank you to everyone who took up the trial services and sent us their feedback. It has helped us provide more flexibility for all residents, and help locals get ready for bushfire season.

The new services will start from 1 July 2023 and include:
โœ… Facility drop-off and kerbside chipping added to the booked waste service options.
โœ… Kerbside chipping in August, with booking opening in June and closing in late July.
โœ… Extra weekly green bin collections in September.
โœ… Extended weekday opening hours at Katoomba Resource Recovery and Waste Management Facility.

Weโ€™ll post here as each service comes online, so keep your eyes peeled. In the meantime, you can read more detail about each service at www.bmcc.nsw.gov.au/waste

A weekly green bin in September is great but even better if it was all year.

Just a little community service announcement regarding the Mount Riverview Community Facebook Group.
Unfortunately thereโ€™s been a hacking event which means no posts can be approved. The admins are trying to work this out with Facebook but in the meantime theyโ€™ve asked that no one messages or friend requests the current admin of the group.

It was a huge honour to once again be invited by Glenbrook/Lapstone Rural Fire Brigade to assist with the ANZAC Day services at Glenbrook this morning.
Mt Riv assisted with road closures from dawn as well as accompanying the ANZAC Day march.
