An unexpected bonus of the upgrade has meant local garbage trucks can now access the road and provide the collection service. Five residents along Point Plomer Road have already opted to take up the new service.

If you would like to enquire about a new bin service, please call 1300 342 207.

Agvet chemical users can now register their unwanted or obsolete agvet chemicals for collection. While the Collection will be held in March, you must register before January 28 to participate.

Chemicals eligible for collection for free under the program must display the drumMUSTER/ChemClear eligible logo on the chemical container. Eligible chemicals are referred to as Group 1 under the program. Chemicals not eligible for free collection are referred to as Group 2.

Once your chemicals are registered with ChemClear please continue to store these chemicals safely and securely.

You can register your chemicals at www.chemclear.org.au/register-your-chemical or if you need more information, contact ChemClear 1800 008 182
