This Is What We Need In Mount Druitt and Blacktown LGA - Recycling Stations for Bins

We, in Blacktown City Council of which Mount Druitt in a  major  part have sister cities, as follows:


  • Porirua, New Zealand, since 1984.
  • Suseong-gu, Daegu, South Korea, since 1994.
  • Liaocheng, China, since 2003.
  • Liverpool Plains, Australia, since 2005.

Yet,is it possible that we can pick up  important improvement changes, to make our community better from other places around the world. This is how communities change as well as using our local knowledge.

So on a recent  trip to Akaroa in New Zealand,  these bins caught my eye and is it something we could look at  having rather than having multiple bins we have at present:

The signs stay "Not for commercial or domestic use', it is used for public use in parks, gardens and open public spaces. Now I know that. I think it will be unique if we can teach our community to use different bins for different waste products, the  our community will be a better cleaner and tidier place. It doesn't take  much to set these up - an extra cost. But an extra cost in the right direction - in the long run costs could be well reduced and that means less rates to pay.
