Here is some more information about extra green bin collection and kerbside collection from Blue Mountains Council ๐๐ช๐ฒ ๐ต๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ฒ๐
๐ฐ๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐! The waste services trial we ran last year was a success and weโre 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:
โ
Facility drop-off and kerbside chipping added to the booked waste service options.
โ
Kerbside chipping in August, with booking opening in June and closing in late July.
โ
Extra weekly green bin collections in September.
โ
Extended weekday opening hours at Katoomba Resource Recovery and Waste Management Facility.
Weโll 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
#TogetherWeveGotItSorted #TowardsZeroWaste
A weekly green bin in September is great but even better if it was all year.
It's never to early to start preparing your property for the upcoming fire season. Book now for your kerbside chipping service through Blue Mountains City Council.๐ง๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒโ๐ ๐๐๐ถ๐น๐น ๐๐ถ๐บ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ ๐ฏ๐ผ๐ผ๐ธ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ฐ๐ต๐ถ๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐๐ด๐๐๐.

Our newest members officially started their BF (Bush Firefighter) training today. They did exceptionally well and will be a huge asset to our brigade.
Just a little community service announcement regarding the Mount Riverview Community Facebook Group.
Unfortunately thereโs 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 theyโve 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.
A huge thank you to Leon and Bev Carter for once again fundraising for Mt Riv Brigade with their spectacular Christmas lights display on Robertswood Avenue.
Just over $3500 was donated by the community for which we are extremely grateful.
Well done!!!!
A wonderful event that the community loves to support. Thanks Bev and Leon. My grandsons look forward to this every Christmas as do we
Very generous members of the community Leon and Bev, love 'em
Always a highlight of Christmas celebrations with our grandchildren.. Thank you Leon and Bev ๐๐๐
Well done and wonderful couple
