Ratepayers fork out $1.2m to help solve WA's three-bin problem

Ratepayers in Western Australia's second-largest city, Bunbury, are shouldering a $1.2 million annual expense to transport organic waste 150 kilometers to Perth after the local processing facility failed. This shift highlights the ongoing struggle to manage waste segregation and recycling efforts in the region. The move raises questions about the sustainability and cost-effectiveness of such long-distance waste transport and underscores the broader issues in regional waste management infrastructure.
