how much did the machete bins cost

The machete disposal bins in Victoria cost around $2,400 each according to the Victorian government. The widely circulated claim that each bin costs $325,000 is false and stems from a miscalculation where the total $13 million budget for the entire machete amnesty program (which includes education, public awareness campaigns, and other elements) was divided by the number of bins. The $2,400 cost per bin aligns with the price of steel charity bins quoted by local fabricators.
