NEW WASTE AND RECYCLING APP

Never forget your bin night again!

The City of Ballarat has launched a Ballarat Waste app to put local waste and recycling information right at your fingertips.

Available free from iPhone and Android app stores, the app empowers residents to access information about their waste and recycling services from the convenience of their smart phone.

With the Ballarat Waste app you can:

• Access kerbside collection schedules and set bin night reminders

• Receive notifications of any changes to bin collections, including public holiday services

• Download a printable PDF of the annual collection calendar for your own address

• See what can and cannot be placed into recycling, green waste and your general household waste bin

• Log a missed or damaged bin

• Access Ballarat Transfer Station’s opening hours, fees and a list of what can be taken to the Transfer Station for free

The Ballarat Waste app will help the City of Ballarat reduce its environmental footprint by transitioning away from resource-intensive printing, posting and greenhouse gas emissions associated with the bulk mail out of the annual waste and recycling collection calendar.

Limited numbers of printed calendars will continue to be available from Customer Service for residents that want to receive a hard copy of the waste and recycling collection calendar.

Download the app via the App Store or on Google Play.

PET OF THE WEEK – TUKTUK

I’m a young black staffy dog, who loves people and all the attention I can get! I’m still learning some manners because I am young. I love playing, fetching the ball and going for walks.

I would make an excellent companion for someone who wants an active companion but also loves cuddles.

To meet me please contact the Ballarat Animal Shelter on 5334 2075 or animalshelter@ballarat.vic.gov.au
