Waste fees
Due to inflation and to cover the increased costs of Emission Trading Scheme compliance, there will be some price changes in the world of waste from Saturday 1 August.
Domestic general waste drop-off at the Southern Landfill will rise from a minimum charge of $10 to $15, and from $160 to $170 per tonne.
Domestic green waste charges remain the same at $5 for minimum drop-off.
The recommended retail price of official Council rubbish bags will also increase from $2.50 to $2.75 per bag.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
