Bin plan a waste By Emily-Rose Toohey Southern Downs residents have expressed hesitancy regarding the kerbside waste collection expansion, which is set to commence on 4 April.

The expansion was last discussed at the Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) meeting on 23 February, and applicable residents have since received a letter detailing the expansion. The service will have a three month free trial period, ending on 30 June - $450 will
