Save the Stonnington Garbos!
Stop Stonnington City Council from Outsourcing Waste Services
The City of Stonnington is currently looking to outsource its waste management services to contractors.
Outsourcing has failed in other councils. That’s why we are calling on councillors to do right by the residents and workers of Stonnington.
Keep the service. Keep it local. Keep it reliable.
Don’t outsource.
Show your support by signing the petition. If you live in the area, contact your local councillor to tell them not to outsource.
Why is this important?
The outsourcing of garbage collections has led to missed collections, higher long-term costs, and a lower standard of service for residents. The same will happen to Stonnington.
We’ll see these workers’ negotiated pay and conditions stripped away, and some will be made redundant.
These are workers who have been providing a high-quality, reliable service to residents for decades. They’re proud of the work they do, and they don’t deserve to lose their jobs or their entitlements.
When asked, these workers all said that they want to keep providing this service to residents, for residents. They want to keep this service accountable to residents, at the standard that residents expect.
