Greater Shepparton City Council has informed residents of Murchison East, Bunbartha and Undera that public-placed skip bins have been phased out and all skip bins have been collected.
Council resource recovery centres in Shepparton, Ardmona and Murchison are open and accepting flood-affected household waste for free.
“I would like to thank residents with their clean-up efforts, we are now moving to the next phase of flood recovery,” council’s infrastructure director Gary Randhawa said.
“Residents who still have flood-damaged household items to dispose of can do so free of charge, when showing proof of ID, until March 2.
“Council asks for residents needing to dispose of flood waste to fill out a flood-affect waste form online prior to disposing of waste.”
To access the flood-affected waste form, visit https://shepp.city/register-flood-waste to lodge intent to dispose of flood-affected waste.
