The Lower Hunter is going green, with the rollout of a kerbside collection service for household garden organics.
Cessnock, Maitland and Singleton councils are joining together to offer the service, in addition to general waste and recycling.
“It’s something that people in the three areas have been asking about for such a long time so next month it’s going to be a reality,” said Maitland Mayor Peter Blackmore.
60-thousand bins are being distributed, and the councils hope the initiative will significantly reduce the amount of waste going to landfill.
Organics collection will begin on Monday, March 6.
