Early learning and school-aged children can enter our single-use plastics art competition for the chance to have their artwork displayed at the Discovery Centre at Hanging Rock!

The Victorian Government's single-use plastics ban came into effect on 1 February 2023. Council is committed to phasing out single-use plastics. Visit our website to find out what action Council is taking towards single-use plastics.

Whether it is for cost savings, environmental impact by reducing waste, or the health benefits for your child, join us for our modern cloth nappy workshops in 2023. Each participant will receive a $20 gift voucher to use on nappies, and go in the lucky prize draw to win a $200 nappy starter pack!

Also, watch this space for our reusable nappy rebate pilot program, launching soon!

An impactful and effective response to climate change needs collective action. As such, we're excited to have launched 'Cool-ER Changes', a project that will create the shire's first collaboratively-designed Climate Emergency Response Plan. We want to hear from you! Join us for one (or all) of our upcoming themed workshops running April to June.

Your FOGO (Food Organics Garden Organics) bin is for more than just garden clippings. All food scraps and garden clippings can go into your green bin. Your small acts have a huge impact on Victoria’s sustainable future.

FOGO works well alongside compost bins, worm farms and other home management practices; and allows you to compost items such as certified compostable packaging, noxious weeds and more!

There are no changes to collections this Easter season. Please put your bins out as usual on your collection day. Remember you can download the MRSC waste app from the app store on your smart phone and set reminders for bin day.
