Information for schools and early learning centres

From July 1 2022, schools and early learning centres can apply for the food and green waste kerbside service for their educational facility.  This is to enable schools and ELCS to continue their food waste diversion programs and to reduce their food waste to landfill.

To verify organisational approval for the ongoing payment of $150 per annum for this service, please complete the Food and Green Waste Bin Payment Authority Form and this will be forwarded to waste@mornpen.vic.gov.au.  One of the Circular Economy and Waste team members will be in touch to discuss your food waste program with you and talk you through the requirements of using the service.
