Fortnightly rubbish collection

One way to save costs, so it seems, is to collect household rubbish less frequently. The ABC reports that the South Australian State Opposition claims councils could breach environmental health regulations by taking part in a trial of fortnightly rubbish collection. Opposition MP Stephen Wade says the Government should not allow the trial, which is being managed by Zero Waste. A SA Government representative says rubbish collection is a matter for local government. Wendy Campana from the Local Government Association says every precaution is being taken in the fortnightly collection trial.
