The average Moorabool household produces almost 200kilograms less waste each year than the typical Victorian home.
Sustainability Victoria data shows Moorabool residents produce an average of 290kilograms of waste a year, making it the most efficient council in the state.
Victorian households generate an average of 475kilograms a year. A spokesman said Moorabool’s impressive rates could be connected to proper bin use.
“We don’t really know what the secret is … what we do know is that [Moorabool residents] use the best-practice recyclables bin system: a 240-litre co-mingled fortnightly collection and a small 120-litre weekly garbage service which produces the best combination of bin systems to improve diversion rates.”
