Council is excited to announce the Resource Recovery Secondary School Grant Program. 

Secondary schools in the Macedon Ranges can apply for up to $2,000 to tackle a waste problem. The proposal must address a waste-specific problem and consider long-term solutions and sustainability.

Applications are open 1 February and close 30 April.

Whether you prefer printed or digital, our handy bin collection calendars let you know which bins to put out for collection each week. 

Download one from our website; or find out your collection day, set reminders and more by downloading the MRSC Waste App.

If you'd prefer a printed copy, you can request one to be sent to you, or pick one up from our customer service centres.

Was one of your New Year's resolutions to clean out the shed? Or perhaps it was to get around to donating some of those clothes you bought but never wear? 

All items in good quality condition can be taken to your nearest op shop. If you have something a bit larger to donate, it's always good to get on the phone and check with the shop first. 

Any items that are no longer in good condition can be taken to any of our resource recovery facilities (RRFs). Textiles, polystyrene, soft plastic, scrap metal, white goods and e-waste are all free to dispose of at any RRF.

If you've purchased an eligible reusable nappy, sanitary or incontinence product in the last six months, you could be eligible to receive 50% of your purchase back. 

The program will run from 1 February-30 April 2024, unless allocated funds are exhausted prior.

With over 660 million disposable hygiene products being sent to landfill each year, we're encouraging our residents to consider reusable alternatives. Reusable products not only divert waste from landfill, but they mean savings for you in the long run.
