The Shire of Kalamunda is currently reviewing its Bulk Waste Kerbside Collection Service. In 2006/07 it costs the Shire of Kalamunda $867,700 for the collection and tipping fees for bulk rubbish and green waste. At this rate the Shire provides two bulk waste kerbside collections per year, with each collection including green waste and bulk rubbish.
The previous contract ended on the 30th June 2007 and the Shire of Kalamunda advertised for tenders on the 30th of March 2007. Tenders were received in April and indicated that the cost to provide the same service would increase by between 11% and 31% from the previous three year contract.
Therefore the Shire of Kalamunda has decided to review all options in regards to the Bulk Waste Kerbside Collection, to ensure that this waste collection service is both financially viable and provides the best possible service to residents. Councillors will look at all options and make a decision on the 20th of August.
Due to the review the Shire of Kalamunda is looking at a later start for the next collection, which was due to commence in September 2007. Exact dates will be advised as soon as possible. For further information please contact the Shire of Kalamunda Health Services on (08) 9257 9813.
