Fed up with people pulling rubbish out of bins in search of recyclable containers, Port Phillip council has come up with a modification to accommodate cans, bottles and juice boxes.

City of Port Phillip is the first to trial the new collection measure. Mayor Louise Crawford said it was hoped making it easier to collect recyclables meant the council’s bins would not be damaged.

Port Phillip Council's Plan for Port Phillip 2025-35 (including the 2025/26 budget) was adopted at a special council meeting last night.
