Contamination across the three-bin system continues to be an issue and Hay Shire Council will be forced to take action against repeat offenders.

“Council staff are constantly finding waste that should not be in your green-lidded bin,” General Manager, David Webb said.

“If this becomes an ongoing issue at your household, Council will issue you a letter to address the problem.

“If the problem continues, a contamination notification sticker will be applied to your bin.”

A 3-bin system is expected to be introduced in Hay Shire by July 2024 to replace the current weekly single bin collection.

A total of $909,800 has been allocated to Hay Shire Council to construct a material recovery facility at the Waste Transfer Station.

The announcement was made on Monday afternoon by Minister for the Environment, Sussan Ley who said Hay was leading the way in recycling.
