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

be the cost after the trial. An anonymous local source, who will be unnamed due to privacy reasons, said she rang council about the bin collection being of no use to her and her partner. “If we wanted it, we would have applied

for it – we don’t want or need a bin service,” source one said. This sentiment was voiced by other locals on Facebook after two high traffic posts regarding the expansion gained 124 comments in total at the time of this print. Full story page 4
