Re: the Yarra Ranges council has decided that it WILL NOT have free tipping for ratepayers this year for fuel reduction purposes - apparently last year it cost $250,000 - which I find a little unusual - since last year the council was claiming the cost was about $750,000 - not to worry - accounting procedures explain this discrepancy?
The Coalition party - now the govt. of Victoria - indicated that it would have about $2 Million dollars available in the first year of govt. to be used for fuel reduction projects - and to assist with council subsidies such as the free tipping offered by Yarra ranges in 2009.
Did you know that the tip/recycle centre in Burwood Hwy Vermont operated by Whitehorse Council will accept garden prunings and similar FREE OF CHARGE. They have a contractor on site who recycles this garden waste in a huge shredder for compost. If it's not too far to travel maybe this is a solution to Fire Ready gardeners.
