There are no changes to the opening hours of the Ouyen Landfill, or the Cullulleraine, Werrimull and Nangiloc transfer stations.

Any changes to opening hours will have no impact on kerbside bin collection services or schedules.

Residents are encouraged follow a few simple tips this festive season to avoid excess waste, including:

• Pop all food scraps into the green bin – there are still thousands of tonnes of food scraps going into residents’ red bins.
• Cardboard from Christmas gifts can be recycled at Mildura Landfill and transfer stations for free
• Try reusing gift bags – it will save you time and reduce waste.
