Local waste management services
An initiative arising out of the 2017 Tarago Village Plan was for Veolia to facilitate a local waste collection service for the village of Tarago. Collection service will begin October 2020.
To be eligible for this free service you must reside in the village of Tarago. Participating households will receive 1 complimentary 240 litre wheelie bin that will be collected once every fortnight. This service is completely optional and shall run for a trial period of two (2) years. This service does not replace any existing waste or recycling service currently provided by the Goulburn Mulwaree Council. To register for this service, please email your full name, street address, and telephone number to tarago.wastecollection@veolia.com.
