Veolia Environmental Services to pick up the waste

Veolia takes over Wheelie Waste’s Shepparton operations, including commercial transfer stations, waste management fleet and kerbside bin collection.

Council director infrastructure Phil Hoare said the change would not affect the community.

‘‘Residents can be assured it is business as usual and there will be no disruptions to kerbside bin collections ... Veolia will be picking up the red, yellow and green lid bins as usual,’’ he said.

‘‘This is simply a change to the contractor completing the work as a result of Veolia’s takeover of Wheelie Waste’s operations in our area — importantly Veolia advises all current local Wheelie Waste employees will transfer to Veolia.’’
