Everyday Heroes in Macedon Ranges
Celebrating Local Champions of Recycling and Waste Reduction
We are proud to launch Everyday Heroes in the Macedon Ranges—a new campaign recognising local legends who go above and beyond to reduce waste, recycle correctly, and inspire others to live more sustainably.
This initiative, led by our Resource Recovery team, replaces the long-running “Let’s Get Sorted” branding and marks a renewed commitment to celebrating the positive actions of our community.
A Spotlight on Sustainability Champions
For over five years, our community has embraced the four-bin system—separating general waste, recycling, glass, and organics—to reduce landfill and improve resource recovery. Now, we're shining a light on the people who make it happen every day.
Whether you’re passionate about zero waste, a neighbourhood organiser on bin night, or someone who educates others about what belongs in which bin, we want to hear from you.
What Makes an Everyday Hero?
Everyday Heroes can help reduce waste and promote sustainability by:
- using the four-bin system correctly for general waste, recycling, glass, and organics
- keeping recyclables clean and placing only accepted items in each bin
- preventing litter and illegal dumping through responsible disposal
- using reusable items and cutting down on waste
- sharing recycling knowledge with others and leading by example
You don’t need to be perfect, just passionate!
