Episode Details

Wellington Shire Council in Victorias Gippsland region is implementing a new waste management system, introducing 240-liter FOGO bins for food, organics, and garden waste, and reducing red-lidded general waste collections to every two weeks. However, residents, led by petition organizer Danielle Azevedo, are protesting the change, citing concerns about overflowing bins, pests, and health risks, particularly for families with young children, the elderly, and those with disabilities. Mayor Cindy Madeley supports the plan, emphasizing its environmental benefits and cost savings, but the council faces tough decisions as the debate intensifies.
