In 2024, we introduced our first new GRC Waste Heroes who each correspond with our household bins - red for general waste and yellow for recycling.

After a public vote to choose their names we were proud to welcome Benjamin Binny and Rolanda Recycling.

In 2025, we held a colouring-in competition where locals could suggest names for our new Green Garden Organics Hero and we introduced Georgina Green.

Our Waste Heroes will now play an important part in Council's ongoing waste education program.

Let's Get It Sorted!

Entries are open to young people aged 6-11 years.

Entries close 1 December 2025.

Don't forget - new waste hero is still missing a name. We can't wait to see what creative names you come up with.
