Dispose of your mask safely
It's important that single-use face coverings and gloves are disposed of correctly.
Wearing a face covering while outside of your home is now mandatory across Victoria.
While many are choosing to use re-usable masks, single-use masks and gloves are also a popular, cost-effective option.
Bass Coast Shire Council has advised it is very important that single-use face coverings and gloves are disposed of correctly and responsibly.
Single-use masks and gloves must be put in your red-lidded general waste bin and not in your recycling or organics bins.
You should always wash or sanitise your hands immediately after handling face coverings or gloves, and touching rubbish bins.
