MRSChas achieved the highestdiversion ofresourcesfrom landfill ofany council in Victoriasinceintroducing the four-bin system –with a74percent diversion rate. It is alsooneofonlytwo councils in Australia to introduce aseparate municipal-widekerbside glass bin collectionservice.Sinceitsimplementation, theservice has diverted morethan4689tonnesofglass from landfill.

Incontrast,theproportion selling by privatetreatyhasfallenfrom62percentoftotal salesto59percent.Sellingbyothermeans hasalso declined from10percent toseven percent. "Asgeneral advice, if yousell in aslow marketandwantthebest price, youwantto avoid yourproperty staying on themarketfor along time and becomingdiscounted.

"MRSCwasoneofthe firstcouncils in Victoria to introduce the four-binrecycling system.
